Neurochron®

Neurochron^® is a combination of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phospholipids and selected plant extracts. The formula’s division into morning and evening capsules ensures a balanced combination of natural substances to help maintain healthy brain function, in keeping with the most recent scientific findings.

The most important constituents for the day are:

BioPQQ™ Pyrroloquinoline Quinone Disodium Salt: The significance of Bio-PQQ™ (also known as pyrroloquinoline quinone) for the human body was not discovered until 2003. This vitamin is involved in more than 20,000 physiological processes and therefore plays an immensely important role in the prevention of many diseases. In addition to the positive effects it has on the general metabolism, muscle function, neuronal conduction and the immune system, it also enhances many effects of other vitamins.

Voacanga africana seed extract: In addition to its anti-oxidative properties it promotes healthy blood circulation and oxygen levels in the brain, necessary for stimulating cerebral metabolism. Furthermore, it helps support healthy ATP levels in nerve cells, helping to ensure the brain is provided with the energy required for all of its metabolic processes and functions.

Inositol: Inositol and its derivatives play an important role in the transfer of signals within the cells. For example, signals that reach the cell from the outside are directed from the cell membrane into the cell nucleus with the help of inositol. In this way, the metabolism of cells is adjusted to external requirements and the cells are prompted to form specific hormones and other important substances as needed.

Choline bitartrate and DMAE bitartrate: Choline belongs to the group of biogenic amines and is present in nearly all life forms. It plays an important role in amino acid metabolism and is involved in the formation of important substances in the body, such as the phospholipid lecithin, which is involved in the formation of cell membranes. Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) is also a biogenic amine with similar important functions. Like choline, it is necessary for the formation of cell membranes and serves as the basic material for the synthesis of choline. Acetylcholine, one of the most important neurotransmitters in the body, is also formed from choline. The decrease of this messenger substance in advancing age appears to contribute to several deficiency symptoms.

Huperzine (Huperzia serrata) inhibits cholinesterase, slowing the degeneration of acetylcholine. It also helps maintain a healthy mood.

NADH^® (Panmol) is related to vitamin B3, which is present in all cells and is involved in redox processes. Its most important function is to regulate the energy balance in cells. Reduced levels of NADH have been shown to be associated with loss of memory and degenerative symptoms in the brain.

Coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E (as D-alpha tocopheryl acid succinate): Both of these highly potent antioxidants act on the cell membrane. In the respiratory chain, coenzyme Q10 also serves as an electron transporter in the mitochondrial cell membrane and is therefore essential for the derivation of energy from cells.

The most important substances for the nocturnal activity of the brain are:

Vitamin B1 (thiamine) und B2 (riboflavin): These vitamins protect the nerve cells by protecting against free radicals. Furthermore, vitamin B1 helps maintain healthy blood circulation in the brain while B2 has a positive effect on cell respiration – both of which are essential prerequisites for storing information in long-term memory.

Folic acid and ginkgo biloba leaf extract: Folic acid is a coenzyme involved in several metabolic reactions that is absolutely essential for optimal functioning of the body. It is particularly significant in differentiated cell growth and the formation of red blood cells, which are responsible for oxygen transport. The flavonoids contained in ginkgo biloba help protect against free radicals.  Ginkgo biloba also supports healthy circulation, helping to promote healthy blood flow to cerebral structures.

Acetyl-L-carnitine HCl is an ester of the amino acid L-carnitine which, in turn, acts as a transport molecule for fatty acids through the mitochondrial membrane. Acetyl-L-carnitine is metabolized in the mitochondria of cells – a process by which energy is derived for the body’s cellular balance. In addition, it supports the formation of certain neuronal growth factors in specific parts of the brain.

Phosphatidylserine is an essential component of all cell membranes and plays a significant role in the brain, particularly during the release of neurotransmitters and, consequently, in the transmission of impulses between nerve cells. Its relative deficiency in advanced age is a frequent cause of reduced intellectual performance and less-than-optimal memory.

Panax ginseng root extract: This herb’s anti-oxidative potential and ability to affect specific brain receptors allow it to help maintain healthy mood and intellectual functioning.

Coral Calcium^®: This substance regulates the pH value of the body; the more balanced the body’s pH, the better its ability to absorb the active ingredients in Neurochron^®.

Bioperine^®: This extract, derived from black pepper, boosts the bioavailability of the active ingredients in Neurochron^®.
