Description
- Contains ingredients important for the synthesis of dopamine, a catecholamine important for positive affect, mood, and memory*
- N-acetyl-L-cysteine: Advanced precursor to L-cysteine that offers greater stability and membrane permeability than regular L-cysteine [1].*
- L-cysteine increases glutathione (GSH) and regulates glutamatergic signaling [2,3].*
- Glutathione provides antioxidant protection and is an important mediator of oxidative stress in dopaminergic neurons as excess dopamine production can form reactive oxygen species that can damage cells [4].
- N-acetyl-L-tyrosine: L-tyrosine is a precursor to catecholamines including dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.
- Mucuna cochinchinensis seed extract (99% L-DOPA): Natural source of L-DOPA [5]. L-DOPA crosses the blood-brain barrier and is the direct precursor to dopamine.*
- Vitamins B and C: Active forms of vitamin B6, folate, and C are important for catecholamine synthesis [6-8].*

Growth Rooted in NeuroScienceEstablished in the Saint Croix River Valley near Osceola, Wisconsin in 2000 as a privately-owned professional grade dietary supplement company, NeuroScience began offering proprietary blends of amino acids designed specifically to provide precursors for nervous system molecules called neurotransmitters. After nearly two decades, NeuroScience is recognized as a top pro-grade brand delivering premium products containing amino acids, botanicals, vitamins, and minerals exclusively to thousands of licensed healthcare providers.NeuroScience embraces the expectations of a rigorously regulated professional grade supplement brand. In addition to using FDA-inspected manufacturers that are cGMP (current good manufacturing practices) compliant, NeuroScience orders impartial third-party testing to verify label ingredient amounts are met, inspect for microbial contaminants, and test for contamination. We believe our comprehensive Quality Management System ensures consistent products that deliver consistent results.
