NeuroGenesis has increased the amino acid L-Glutamine to 125 mg per capsule; this results in 750 mg per day when taking the suggested six (6) capsules.

This change will further enhance the efficacy of an already successful product.

The primary purposes of suggesting a Neu•Becalm’d/Neu•Relieve combination is during the process of tapering from excessive or prolonged use of prescription pain pills (opiates like codeine, oxycodone and its many derivatives (e.g. OxyContin), Vicodin, Demerol, Fentanyl, Dilaudid, etc.) or during withdrawal from the use of opiate drugs such as heroin or methadone.

The primary neurotransmitter system that is affected by these opiate derivative drugs is one known as methionine enkephalin (or metenkephalin). This system consists of a chain of amino acids that combine to aid the brain in interpreting pain, providing internal calm and a positive self-concept.

When this met-enkephalin system is at adequate levels, we feel “complete” and are more able to suppress physical, as well as emotional, pain. When this transmitter is in short supply, everything “hurts,” – physically, mentally and emotionally. We feel extremely inadequate, insecure and often fearful. Every move elicits pain.

This natural, neuropeptide system is a short chain of amino acids: 1 molecule of L-tyrosine, 2 molecules of L-glycine, 1 molecule of Lphenylalanine and 1 molecule of methionine.

When we combine Neu•Becalm’d with Neu•Relieve we are providing the amino acids that make up this met-enkephalin system.

From Neu•Relieve we get L-tyrosine and Lglycine. From Neu•Becalm’d we get Lphenylalanine, which also produces L-tyrosine.

In most American diets, methionine is in adequate supply. These two NeuroGenesis supplements also contain the vitamin and mineral enzymes that are needed to assure adequate absorption.

In addition, the presence of D-phenylalanine in both Neu•Becalm’d and Neu•Relieve actually stops the break down of the enkephalin molecule. By keeping the enkephalin molecule active longer, the body is able to benefit from the pain relieving neurotransmitter for a longer period of time. When this is combined with the increased levels of amino acids, this Neu•Becalm’d/Neu•Relieve combo will help increase the overall levels of the metenkephalin system that have been effected by the opiate drugs mentioned earlier. This gives the body and brain much needed support during the tapering process.

At this time, we recommend taking a total of six capsules per day: two Neu•Becalm’d and one Neu•Relieve in the morning and two Neu•Relieve and one Neu•Becalm’d in the early afternoon (about 30 minutes before your evening meal). This combination will help begin the repair and rebuilding of the natural neurotransmitters that have been depleted by the use of the opiate drugs and also by ongoing stress.

As you taper, be sure to put 2-3 hours between any NeuroGenesis supplement and a prescription medication.

These two supplements synergistically combine for added support to augment the process of regaining good health.

Neu•Relieve
Formula Enhancement

NeuroGenesis has increased the amino acid L-Glutamine to 125 mg per capsule; this results in 750 mg per day when taking the suggested six (6) capsules.

This change will further enhance the efficacy of an already successful product.

Neu•Relieve has become one of our most successful products. Originally intended to be used during the tapering process and to assist with withdrawal from benzodiazepine usage, we soon began to realize it was beneficial in more areas than we had imagined.

We discovered those who were suffering with panic attacks and those tapering from marijuana usage also benefited greatly with this product.

Another area of discovery is that Neu•Relieve and Neu•Becalm'd taken together are very effective to use during the tapering of opiate derivative pain medications such as Codeine, Oxycodone, morphine, Demerol, etc.

Because GABA deficiencies or depletions can result in such high anxiety or panic, most Alternative Physicians recommend 500 to1000 mg of L-Glutamine per day to reinforce the building of GABA.

L-Glutamine

One of the ingredients in our products is an amino acid called L-Glutamine. L-Glutamine is the precursor for GABA (Gamma Amino Butyric Acid). GABA is the major calming neurotransmitter in our brain. Without an adequate supply of this neurotransmitter, we become extremely anxious, our thoughts fly from one thing to another, we are edgy, and have problems “turning off” our brain to fall asleep or concentrate on one thing at a time. We may become lethargic and lack enthusiasm for things we once enjoyed. GABA is also the network of neurons and receptors that are negatively affected by benzodiazepine use and those experiencing panic attacks. GABA is dramatically depleted in those who are taking a benzodiazepine.

L-Glutamine begins the rebuilding process necessary for eventual normalization of GABA activity. It is responsible for reducing the impact and effect of adrenalin and basically keeping us calm.
