neurosynergy is a dietary supplement to support brain function, memory and concentration created by Dr. Alan Pressman.
neurosynergy is an advanced nutritional supplement that combines L-alpha glycerlphosphorylcholine (alpha-GPC), ginkgo biloba phytosomes and phosphatidylcholine. These nutrients work synergistically to support proper nervous system function including mood balance, memory, nerve signal transduction and cognitive function. neurosynergy is designed for individuals in need of support for memory and nerve function.
neurosynergy contains phosphatidycholine, a stable source of choline. Choline supports proper nerve, brain and circulatory function, and is needed for proper nerve transmission through the central nervous system. Choline supports noradrenaline and dopamine levels, which supports learning and memory. It is essential in manufacturing acetylcholine, a very important neurotransmitter for memory recall and brain function. neurosynergy contains alpha-GPC (Glycerolphosphorylcholine), a naturally-occurring phospholipid precursor and metabolite from lecithin that supports the production of phosphatidylcholine. It also supports cell membrane formation and synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. neurosynergy also contains ginkgo biloba phytosomes. Ginkgo biloba is an herb that supports healthy brain, respiratory and ocular function, and is known for memory supportive properties. Phytosomes are advanced forms of herbal products that are highly bioavailable due to the process of their formation. The individual components of an herbal extract are bound to phosphatidylcholine, one of the chief components of cell membranes.
Ginkgo biloba phytosomes’ active constituents are free radical scavengers, that support cell membranes of the brain and other tissues. They also support the body’s antioxidant defense system, optimal uptake and utilization of oxygen and glucose, blood flow to the brain and extremities, neurotransmission function in the brain, memory and mood balance. Ginkgo biloba phytosomes support the rate at which information is transmitted at the nerve cell level.
neurosynergy is a combination of extensively researched nutrients to assure the best quality and results. This blend offers the best support for proper nervous system function, including mood balance, memory, nerve signal transduction and cognitive function. It is available in powder form, which easily mixes in cold water or juice.

A new study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research has conducted a telephone survey of adult residents in Canada during 2011 and 2012. Researchers “examined the responses of 3,933 adults aged 18 and above participating in the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health’s Monitor …
The brain is commonly referred to as the “command center” of your body, as it serves numerous purposes that are essential to its function. But it can be very difficult to fully understand. Its complexity has helped to create several myths that are commonly believed …
When you thick of probiotics, the healthy bacterial supplements, the last thing you think about, if at all, is the brain. Probiotics mostly bring to mind gastrointestinal function, including digestion and absorption, immunity and manufacturing of vitamins K and B. However, several international research reviews indicate that probiotics play a major role in brain function including memory, concentration, focus, mood, appetite control, and even blood brain barrier health – the brains protective shield, especially when combined with the peripheral neurotransmitter serotonin in the gut where, in the brain, it’s a pacifier.
A recent research report from Sweden’s Karolina Institute states that our natural gut residing microbes play a role in controlling the permeability of the blood brain barrier, which protects the brain from harmful substances in the blood. The report concluded that the transport of molecules across the blood brain barrier can be influenced by gut microbes, which play an important role in the protection of the brain. So alterations of indigenous microbiota have far-reaching consequences for the blood brain barrier functio
n throughout life.
The blood brain barrier is a highly selective permeable barrier that separates the circulating blood from the brain. It is formed by brain endothelial cells and allows the passage of water and selective transport of molecules such as glucose and amino acids that are crucial to internal function while protecting against the transport of toxic substances.
The blood brain barrier can be broken down by such factors as high blood pressure, endothelial dysfunction, infections, microwaves and radiation, trauma, and inflammation. Recent reports also mentioned the negative impact of alcohol, prescription drugs, elevated homocysteine and nutrient deficiencies as being contributing factors to blood brain barrier integrity loss.
Protecting the blood brain barrier is a prime goal in the practice of clinical nutrition. As previously mentioned, numerous research reports strongly suggest that a specific group of probiotics can strengthen the blood brain barrier and also reduce the symptoms of anxiety, chronic fatigue, depression and also improve memory, concentration and focus. These specific probiotics can be combined with an extract of the herb bacopa. This combination can actually improve learning rate, working memory, and mental performance while strengthening the blood brain barrier to help keep endotoxins and exotoxins for entering the brain.
Probiotic bacteria have the potential to alter brain neurochemistry and strengthen the blood brain barrier. Specific probiotics have a synergistic effect on the integrity of the brain and its barrier. A specific report from University College, Cork, Ireland discussed one such probiotic called Lactobacillus Rhamnosus which reduces stress, anxiety and depression and related behaviors. When combined with Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Bifidobactrum Lactis, Lactobacillus Plantarum and Lactobacillus Bulgaricus, research reports improvement in peak cognitive performance and protection of the blood brain barrier. In fact, Lactobacillus Rhamnousus may work by acting as a facilitator of other gut bacteria.
To conclude, when these five probiotics are combined with an herbal extract such as bacopa, decades of research show significantly improved performance in areas such as visual processing, learning rate, working memory, information retention and mental performance.
