An ultimate brain fuel and antioxidant formula, the driver of
GemAminos plus actions is its exceptionally rich content of
L-glutathione. One of the most powerful antioxidants ever studied,
L-glutathione has well studied anti-aging, anti-tumor, and free radical
clearing effects. The liver uses large quantities of L-glutathione for
detoxification and antioxidant activities required for optimum health.
Another addition to this product is Pregnenolone.
A report from the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
asserted that Pregnenoloneis the
most potent memory enhancer ever discovered. Pregnenolone enhances
our mental performance, facilitates learning, helps us adapt to stress,
increases our feeling of well-being and actually makes us happier and
more appreciative of life. Pregnenolone improves concentration, prevents
mental fatigue, increases productivity and improves psychomotor
performance. It also can help prevent depression. Pregnenolone simply
keeps our brain functioning at peak capacity.
Pregnenolone can be converted to
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone)
or can go down a different pathway to become the female hormone
progesterone. DHEA has been reported to be a potent anti-aging nutrient
with anti-tumor, immune enhancing and libido boosting effects. It has
also been associated with protecting the heart, building muscle, and
burning fat. DHEA may go on to form either testosterone or estrogen.
Because Pregnenolone also offers the progesterone pathways, its effects
on enhancing hormone pathways are more balanced and permit the body do
adjust its internal ratios.
GemAminos plus provides a full spectrum blend of brain boosting
amino acids and other potent nerve cell support nutrients. These amino
acids and support factors can be converted to the brain hormones that
promote learning, memory, and thinking functions or they can be used
directly for brain energy, mental clarity, and focus. Studies on
selected ingredients such as glutamine have shown increased intelligence
associated with their use.
Other ingredients have been found to enhance immune function or improve
endocrine gland activity. Other powerful antioxidants such as Selenium
chelated with Methionine for optimum tissue protecting actions round out
this brain function enhancing formula.
Brain map testing after taking
GemAminos plus has shown an up to
50 - 70% increase in the measured power output of the brain in the alpha
wave. Alpha waves are the brain wave patterns associated with relaxation
and enhanced awareness. Increased brain wave coherence, the balance of
waves from right to left, has also been seen after using GemAminos
plus. For brain, endocrine, and immune enhancement, GemAminos
plus may serve as a potent nutritional adjunct.
Pregnenolone is the parent of all hormones. It exists commonly in
medicinal plants such as Angelica, Onidium, Dictamnus and Notoptergium.
All other sex hormones are derived from it, including cortisone,
testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, and others. It is the
super hormone of our brain. The brain and the adrenal cortex produce it.
Levels of endogenous (i. e. made in the body) Pregnenolone decline with
age. By age 75 we produce only about 40% of our youthful levels.
Only Pregnenolone is the ultimate precursor of all other steroid
hormones. All steroid hormones in the body are produced from
Pregnenolone, which in turn is synthesized from cholesterol.
Progesterone and DHEA are also parent steroids in the sense that
they can give rise to a number of other steroid species, but
Pregnenolone has very synergistic effects when taken with DHEA and
melatonin. Appetite is significantly decreased and cravings for
alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, mind-altering drugs and even chocolate are
usually decreased as well. Studies show that Pregnenolone shows
tremendous potential in an amazing array of illnesses, especially in
combination with DHEA.
Fatigue
In the mid 1940s, several studies indicated that a daily dose of 50 mg
of Pregnenolone reduced fatigue and stress among factory workers,
airline pilots and other subjects. Today, there are millions of people
who suffer from stress and fatigue who may find relief with
Pregnenolone.
Memory Enhancement
Pregnenolone has been found to play an important role in the acquisition
of knowledge and the long-term memory of learned behavior. (DeWied 1976,
1977). In a study with rats by Flood et al. (1995), Pregnenolone was
found to enhance memory at doses far lower than doses required of other
steroids or steroid precursors, including DHEA.
Pregnenolone blocks the inhibitory amino acids glycine and gamma-aminobutyric
acid (GABA), as well as non-NMDA glutamate. As a result, Pregnenolone
helps to regulate the balance between excitation and inhibition, a major
dynamic in the central nervous system.
Arthritis
One health condition is rheumatoid arthritis. Since it is a precursor to
the production of cortisol in the body Pregnenolone was used as early as
the 1940s as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. In daily doses
ranging from 50 mg to 700 mg, Pregnenolone was found to be effective for
this condition and to be much safer than the corticoids, salicylates,
gold, and other drugs used as treatments at the time. Daily doses of
Pregnenolone above 200 mg appeared to be more effective than those below
200 mg.
Nerve Regeneration
Administration of either Pregnenolone or progesterone in mice also
promoted myelin formation during nerve regeneration. (The myelin sheath
is a membrane that protects or insulates various parts of the nerve
cell, preventing short-circuiting or loss of neural transmission.) This
suggests a possible role for supplemental Pregnenolone in conditions
involving demyelination.
TOXICITY / SAFETY: Pregnenolone has been shown to be safe,
non-toxic and without side effects when taken in 100mg doses per day or
less. Pregnenolone does not seem to have any negative side effects.
However, since it is a hormone precursor, it is suggested not to take
GemAminos plus if you are using hormone replacement therapy. It is also
advised against in men who have severe benign prostate enlargement or
prostate cancer and should be avoided in women with estrogen or
progesterone sensitive problems, such as tumors of the breast, ovary or
uterus.
*Please consult your physician before using GemAminos
w/Pregnenolone if you are pregnant, while nursing, or for children
under18 years of age. It is recommended that you inform your doctor when
supplementing.
Suggested use:
2 capsules in the morning one half hour before or 2 hours after eating.
