Jarrow Formulas Neuro Optimizer is a comprehensive brain health capsule containing citicoline, phosphatidylcholine, and L-Glutamine. Mental and emotional functioning relies on chemical messengers called neurotransmitters that promote communication between nerve cells. The key neurotransmitters include serotonin, acetylcholine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. While both drugs (e.g., antidepressants) and nutrients can modulate neurotransmitter levels, boosting them naturally is preferable, since it has minimal negative side effects. Providing basic building blocks is a practical and inclusive method for improving mood and brain health.* Optimizing cognition and minimizing cognitive decline are best accomplished when all performance aspects are addressed. The brain is poorly capable of self-repair, so it must be protected from free radical damage. It is also energy demanding, and requires stable sources of energy. The brain’s constant “switching” and “signaling” depend upon regulation of neuronal membrane excitability and osmolarity (cell pressure).*
