NeuroBalance Sophisticated Anti-Anxiety and Cognitive Balancing Formula -Cognitive Function Balance -Reduced Stress and Anxiety -GABA Revolutionized -Strawberry Cream -8 Fl Oz (240ml)-PLM Delivery System Serving size: 4.0cc’s (1 tsp) Servings per container: 60 Amount per serving: 4-amino-phenylbutyric acid HCL 500mg Suggested Use: Take 1-2 teaspoons as needed before bedtime for maximum anti-stress results. NeuroBalance may be taken occasionally during the day for calm energy and anti-anxiety effects. Product Overview The main active ingredient, 4-amino-3-Phenylbutyric acid HCl, is a derivative of GABA that actually acts as a GABA receptor agonist and also causes significant release of GABA in the brain. The attached phenyl group acts as a carrier which enables this form of GABA to successfully breach the Blood Brain Barrier and has shown to regulate levels of GABA within one hour of administration. Clinical studies have shown significant anxiety reduction, decreased physiological responses to stress and reduced episodes of insomnia. It also has indicated anti-arrhythmic and cardio protective properties. Most scientific studies suggest that the proper dosage should range between 500-1000 mg per day. For the best anti-stress and fat loss benefits, Neurobalance should be taken about 2 hours before going to bed. To fight high-stress and anxiety during the daytime, Neurobalance can still be taken to achieve the anti-stress results. What is GABA? GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) is a powerful amino acid that is actually one of the most abundant inhibitory neurotransmitters in your body. GABA received little attention until 1950 when its occurrence as a normal constituent of the Central Nervous System (CNS) in mammal organisms was established. Supplementation is one of the most effective means for naturally calming and relaxing your mind and body. It's also an excellent sleeping aid because it promotes deep sleep (R.E.M. sleep). Studies have conclusively shown GABA to improve sleep cycles leading to more restful sleeping patterns and more interesting, vivid dreams. GABA has shown powerful stabilizing effects on blood pressure and research has demonstrated GABA to be a very effective analgesic (pain eliminator). Brain Chemistry GABA is the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS and is responsible for 90% of the chemical signaling in your brain. GABA is a natural substance that helps the nerve impulses cross synapses and communicate with one another. The brain cells that keep you awake are continuously firing neurons and when you are sleeping or resting, your body produces GABA which inhibits the firing of neurons (allows relaxation). But with factors such as stress and poor diet, your body may not be able to produce enough GABA, causing numerous problems. Transport carriers When administered these amino acids have difficulty reaching the CNS due the blood brain barrier (BBB). This is the difficulty with many supplements and even prescription meds. Transport carriers are bonded to agents such as GABA and the carriers enable it to pass through the BBB. There are many compounds which are now available and new research to better allow GABA to breach the BBB. Prescription Meds Because GABA is all natural and has no side effects, many doctors recommend GABA over prescription medications. What most people are not aware of, is that most medications on the market directly alter levels of GABA in the brain or attempt to mimic GABA to produce the desired effects of that specific medication. This is because GABA is predominant in all chemical reactions that effect mood, cognitive function, reflexes, pain management, hormone production and much more. By increasing levels of GABA you can expect to experience less discomfort and generally exhibit a higher threshold of pain tolerance. Today's GABA Supplements The most critical obstacle for any GABA supplement is breaching the blood brain barrier (BBB). The main problem with GABA supplements currently on the market is the effectiveness of the compound in successfully transporting the GABA across the BBB. Many supplement companies will claim that their supplements will perform but fail to research or disclose the truth about their effectiveness. Their research IS CORRECT but they missed the mark on finding the delivery system that would work. What is PLM Delivery? We use PLM (PolyLymphatic Matrix) delivery in our NeuroBalance formulation. The Lymphatic system is an alternative means of delivering medications or supplements to the body. Because PolyLymphatic material absorbs through and into the blood; the stomach, GI tract and initial liver degradation are bypassed. The results are higher bioavailability, increased effectiveness and less side effects. Compared to capsules or tablets, administering via, PLM delivery, results in much faster delivery and better absorption. A capsule or tablet will be dissolved in the stomach and only a small portion of the medicine or supplement will continue into the blood. The remainder will be discarded. The absorption into the lymphatic allows for the medication or supplement to have better uptake into the blood vs capsules and tables making PLM delivery more effective. PLM compounds are produced in a series of steps that ultimately form a chemical bond between the medication or supplement to be administered and the PLM forming reagents. In addition, the lymphatic accepting transport vehicle, a liposome, is reacted with the propagating PLM forming agents, a polymer, yielding a complete molecule that now has a high affinity for absorption. HGH Increase Along with controlling the firing of neurons, GABA also stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to produce Human Growth Hormone(HGH). HGH is produced, stored and secreted by the pituitary gland located at the base of the brain. As you advance in age, HGH is able to continue to be made and stored by the brain, however, the level of releasing HGH into the bloodstream decreases dramatically. This lack of circulation of HGH is the factor that scientists now believe is responsible for the tendency of older individuals to have increased difficulty losing body fat, early signs of aging, slowed cognitive function and muscle deterioration. GABA signals the pituitary to naturally release HGH and increases circulating growth hormone by more than 5 times its normal levels (studies show a 550% increase in Growth Hormone levels). GABA is one of the most potent stimulators of growth hormone that has been discovered. HGH promotes the synthesis of protein (builds muscle) and the breakdown of fat (burns fat), and also helps to regulate the concentration of sugar in the blood (insulin regulation). The most amazing benefit is the change in body composition. In a 6 month HGH study, participants GAINED AN AVERAGE OF 8.8% LEAN MUSCLE MASS AND DECREASED BODYFAT BY 14.4% (without any change in diet or exercise). HGH has also been shown to significantly enhance athletic performance and endurance.
