NeuroPure was developed by Pure Encapsulations® in conjunction with Dr. James Greenblatt as part of PureSYNAPSE™,
a line of products based on scientific findings as well as decades of
clinical experience. NeuroPure provides neurotransmitter precursors to
support healthy mood balance by promoting serotonin and dopamine
production and function. Emerging research has also revealed the role
that 5-HTP plays in helping to reduce the severity and duration of
migraine headaches when taken as a prophylactic. Quercetin and curcumin
provide antioxidant defence to further support optimal health. Also
critical to each formulation in this series is the inclusion of a
vitamin B6, zinc and Metafolin® L-5-MTHF cofactor
complex. These nutrients are often depleted in individuals due to
medications, inadequate diets, and toxic environmental exposures,
compromising the ability to properly metabolize nutrients. Along with
zinc, vitamin B6 is a cofactor in amino acid metabolism, including the metabolism of 5-HTP into serotonin and DL-phenylalanine into dopamine.Recommended Use: Factors in the maintenance of good health. Helps to
