Pure Encapsulations NeuroPure

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.
