JUMPSTART
ENERGY PILL INGREDIENTS
(Why does this stimulant & mood booster work so well?)
DL-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid found in common protein foods. Like other nutrient amino acids, phenylalanine comes in L- (from the Latin levo for left) and D- (from dextro for right) forms. The directions refer to minor differences in the amino acids' molecular structure, as evidenced by light refraction.
With the help of essential cofactors (such as pyridoxine, a form of vitamin B6, which is used with B12 to activate many of the critical ingredients), the body transforms phenylalanine in a series of steps into the amino acid tyrosine and then into the important neurotransmitters dopamine and noradrenaline. A 1985 study found that DLPA improved the mood and mood stability of subjects with attention deficit disorder, and claimed that phenylalanine can increase mental alertness (Grevet et al. 2002.)
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS: On occasion people report headaches or nausea from taking DLPA. Certain people should avoid all forms of phenylalanine supplements, such as anyone with high blood pressure and women who are pregnant or lactating. It should not be used by anyone taking MAO inhibitor antidepressants - combining phenylalanine and MAO inhibitors can lead to dangerously high blood pressure. Young children, anyone with psychosis, and those suffering from malignant melanoma or the condition known as phenylketonuria, a genetic disorder of phenylalanine metabolism, should also not take phenylalanine supplements.
L-Tyrosine:
Tyrosine is a nonessential amino acid synthesized in the body from phenylalanine. It is an important nutritional ingredient and factor for biosynthesis of the brain neurotransmitters epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Tyrosine is also used to produce one of the major hormones, thyroxin, which plays an important role in controlling metabolic rate, skin health, mental health, and growth rate.
Tyrosine has been tested on humans for increasing their endurance to anxiety and stress under fatigue. It was proven in research studies that tyrosine supplementation results in increased performance over a control group (Avraham et al. 2001).
Rhodiola Rosea is an excellent adaptogen which helps supports the adrenal glands, working with the body to reduce stress while boosting energy, balancing the stimulants so as to not overtax the system. One particularly interesting aspect of rhodiola is that it appears to work differently within the body than other adaptogens -- the best known of which is the very popular herb Siberian ginseng. Rhodiola's unique mechanism of action excites researchers because it means this herb may be able to provide a therapeutic alternative to established adaptogens.
Siberian Ginseng (Eleuthero) has been used for centuries to help boost the immune system, as well as to enhance sexual and athletic performance. This herb was hailed last century as an "adaptogenic" (stress-protective) marvel. In 1991 the German Commission E (the European authority on the use of plants in healing) made it official by declaring that it was highly effective in boosting the immune system.
In a study of 36 children ranging in age from 3 to 17 years old, Ginseng was administered twice a day on an empty stomach for 4 weeks. At the end of the study, more than 70 percent of patients had experienced improvement on a widely used measure of attention problems symptoms (Lyon MR et al 2001).
Schizandra (Schizandra chinensis) of the family Schizandraceae, is a creeping vine with small red berries that is native to Northern China. As a traditional medicinal herb, Schizandra, called Wu-wei-tzu in China, has been used as a tonic for the treatment of chronic fatigue. Studies conducted on Schizandra's effects have noted that the herb has a stimulating effect in low doses ([Pharmacological studies on Schizandra fruit. I. General pharmacological effects of gomisin A and schizandrin (author's transl)].Maeda S, Sudo K, Aburada M, Ikeya Y, Taguchi H, Yoshioka I, Harada M.)
CAUTION: Schizandra should not be used during pregnancy except under medical supervision because it promotes uterine contractions during labor. Schizandra should be avoided by persons with peptic ulcers, epilepsy and high blood pressure.
Guarana is a South American berry that contains very high concentrations of caffeine (guaranine) and is used as a stimulant and appetite suppressant. For thousands of years, natives of the Amazon used the seed extract to help maintain stamina and physical endurance. Traditionally it was also used to assist in the relief of various ailments such as stress and nervous tension, weight control, headaches and hangovers.
Kola nut, also containing caffeine, indicates a strong stimulating effect on the human consciousness. It is used wherever there is a need for direct stimulation to the central nervous system. Anhydrous Caffeine is also included for the same function.
Magnesium, Vitamin B3, B6, B12, C are all direct effectors of cognitive function. A recent laboratory study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) reveals that an adequate amount of magnesium is necessary to maintain the "plasticity" of synapses - the connectors that move information from neuron to neuron in the brain. In this case, plasticity refers to the ability to change. When synapses are flexible to change, learning and memory are enhanced. Other conditions that have been associated with a magnesium deficiency include depression, anxiety and attention deficit disorder. Research suggest low levels of magnesium are associated with attention problems (Ghia N, Spong CY, Starbuck VN, Scialli AR, Ghidini A - Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Neurology, Georgetown University Medical Center, Oct 2000.) In fact, magnesium has been called the 'miracle nutrient' by some for its many valuable benefits.
Vitamin B's have many functions in the body, including assisting in the synthesis of neurotransmitters and forming myelin, which protect nerves. Magnesium is also very important; it is involved in more than 300 metabolic reactions. At least three studies have demonstrated that the combination of magnesium and vitamin B6 improved behavior, decreased anxiety and aggression, and improved mobility among children with attention problems (Nogovitsina OR et al 2006a,b; Nogovitsina OR et al 2005; Mousain-Bosc M et al 2004).
Citrus Aurantium is a concentrated source of synephrine -- an effective energy booster.
Bioperine is an effector of other ingredients. It is known to have enhancing and synergizing properties and when used in a mix of ingredients, increases the interacting potency of each.
Dosage:
Each capsule contains 820mg, with a single dose being 1 to 2 capsules for the average person. Given the differences in physiology and lifestyle, we recommend 1 capsule to start, increasing up to 3 capsules as indicated by results. Most people take 2 capsules. Do not exceed 4 capsules in one dose, and do not take more than 6 capsules in 24 hours. Drink with plenty of fluids, fruit juice is best, eat a banana or fruit snack 20-30 minutes after taking. Check with your physician before using stimulants, or if you are taking other medication. Do not mix stimulants!
Conclusion:
As a synergistic blend, JUMPSTART is a remarkable energy supplement formula. Just one dose and you'll feel fully charged and ready to be your best. We believe it's the healthiest and the most effective energy product you'll ever use. Try it free and see.
