PROTeX™…brain and nerve recovery

L-Carnosine
L-Carnosine is a dipeptide that neutralizes the damaging hydroxyl radicals that are generated by MDMA (Ecstasy). It also prevents DNA oxidation and blocks excitatory neurotransmitter toxicity, implicated in the neurotoxic process. L-carnosine prevents lipid oxidation and cross linking (abnormal molecular bonds) which occurs when aldehydes like those formed during degradation of dopamine (and sugars) react with protein amino groups and polymerize.

R-Lipoic acid
R-Lipoic acid is the biologically active form of alpha lipoic acid and up to 10 times more potent. It reaches higher blood levels than alpha lipoic, crosses the blood brain barrier and boosts glutathione, the body's major antioxidant enzyme. R-Lipoic acid is one of the most important protective nutrients for Ecstasy users.

Alpha-Lipoic acid
Alpha-Lipoic acid is a master antioxidant that protects cell membranes both in the aqueous and fatty bi-layers. It recycles Vitamin C and Vitamin E, CoQ10 and boosts glutathione. This is one of the most important protective nutrients for Ecstasy users.

Quercetin
Quercetin is a catechol-type flavonoid that localizes near the surface of phospholipid bilayers of membranes and scavenges aqueous oxygen radicals. The actions of Quercetin prevent the consumption of lipophilic alpha-tocopherol (Vitamin E) and the peroxidation of neuronal membranes.

Calcium ascorbate
Calcium ascorbate is a neutral salt form of vitamin C. Vitamin C is a major component of the body's antioxidant defense shield. The highest accumulation of Vitamin C is in the adrenal glands. The second highest is in the nerve terminals; the location where Ecstasy induced damage occurs.

Selenomethionine
Selenomethionine is the most bioactive form of selenium, bound to the sulfur containing amino acid methionine. Selenium substantially reduces lipid peroxidation.

Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin is a new commercial antioxidant concentrated from algae that anchors itself between the fat/water interface of cell membranes, the exact location where MDMA induced free radicals exert their damage on serotonin and dopamine nerve terminals. Astaxanthin blocks lipid peroxidation. Next to R-Lipoic acid and Vitamin C this may exert more protection against amphetamine induced free radical oxidation than any other nutrient.

Grapeseed Standardized Extract (90-95% proanthocyanodins)
Grapeseed Standardized Extract contains proanthocyanodins; a group of powerful flavonoid antioxidants that cross the blood-brain barrier, reduce inflammation and protect neurons from a variety of free radicals generated by MDMA use.

Schizandra Standardized Extract
Schizandra Standardized Extract (9% schizandrins) is a traditional Chinese herb that increases glutathione, a major component of the endogenous antioxidant shield. Schizandra antagonizes the adverse stimulatory properties of MDMA.

Vitamin E (Vitamin E succinate, Mixed Tocopherols, Tocotrienols)
Vitamin E is the official designation for alpha tocopherol, a fat-soluble nutrient found in the diet in varying amounts. The term vitamin E is used to refer to all toco (mixed tocopherols) and trienol (tocotrienol) derivatives. The tocols are alpha, beta, delta and gamma tocopherols; the trienols are alpha, beta, delta and gamma tocotrienols. All of these substances have vitamin E activity and until recently it was thought alpha tocopherol was the most active form. As such, only official vitamin E activity (IU) is given to alpha tocopherol. Recent research however, suggests that gamma tocopherol is as biologically active as alpha tocopherol and that vitamin E products should contain tocopherols and tocotrienols for maximum benefit.

Vitamin E succinate is the most active form of vitamin E and protects cell membranes from oxidation better than other forms of natural or synthetic vitamin E.

Mixed tocopherols are the balanced and complete natural spectrum of tocotrienols enhancing antioxidant effects.

Tocotrienols are a palm-oil derived antioxidant faction of vitamin E with more protective power than vitamin E alone. They work synergistically with Vitamin E and the other ingredients to protect cell membranes from oxidative stress of peroxyl radicals.

DeCLENCH™…jaw and muscle ease

Calcium (Calcium Citrate & Calcium Malate)
Ecstasy may produce a marginal drop in ionized calcium levels that produce a state of nervous and muscular hyperactivity. Taking calcium helps prevent the symptoms of jaw clenching, teeth grinding, eye wiggle, tremor, spasms, anxiety and tension from Ecstasy.

Magnesium (Amino Acid Chelate)
Magnesium ions modulate the tone of muscles by influencing the availability of calcium ions at various intracellular locations. Magnesium actively promotes smooth muscle relaxation, offsets calcium-dependent excitation contraction coupling and decreases cellular responsiveness to depolarizing stimuli. Supplementation of Magnesium eases muscular tension, teeth grinding, eye wiggle, and over-excitation from the stimulatory effects of Ecstasy.

Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5 from Calcium Pantothenate and Pantethine)
Pantothenic Acid helps with the anxiety, tension, muscular cramps and stress from MDMA use.

BUZZ OFF™…comedown, chill out & rest

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HCl)
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HCl) is a necessary co factor to assist the brain in replenishing neurotransmitters depleted by the use of Ecstasy.

Schizandra Berry
Schizandra is a traditional Chinese herb that increases glutathione; a major component of the endogenous antioxidant shield. It also antagonizes the adverse stimulatory properties of Ecstasy.

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5HTP)
5-HTP is the immediate precursor of serotonin, one of the neurotransmitters most adversely affected by Ecstasy. 5HTP helps diminish the "crash" and depression on days subsequent to MDMA use. It helps alleviate headaches and muscle pain. 5HTP has antioxidant properties and assists in recovery by promoting deep restful sleep and circadian rhythm synchronicity.

Bacopa Monneiri Standardized whole plant extract (Bacosides A & B)
Bacopa is an Indian adaptogenic herb with antidepressant and tranquilizing properties. It has been shown to have a positive effect on serotonin metabolism and may help normalize serotonin levels. Bacosides A & B repair damaged neurons by enhancing pre and post synaptic proteins. Bacopa prevents lipid peroxidation, boosts memory and reduces anxiety and fatigue without producing stimulation. All of these effects may benefit the MDMA user during both short and long term recovery.

Valerian Root Standardized Extract (Valerenic Acid 0.8%)
Valerian Root Extract acts as a sedative and improves sleep quality without producing negative side effects.

Trimethylglycine (TMG, Betaine)
Trimethylglycine (TMG,Betaine) is a methyl donor which boosts the COMT enzyme, responsible for elimination of MDMA metabolites.

St John's Wort Standardized Extract (standardized 0.3% hypericin, 3% hyperforin)
The hyperforin in St John's inhibits the reuptake of monoamines, serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline and the amino-acid neurotransmitters GABA and glutamate. Unlike standard reuptake inhibitors, St John's Wort exerts this reuptake inhibition non-competitively by enhancing intracellular Na+ ion concentrations. These actions produce most of the anti-depressive effects St. John's Wort extract.

Melatonin
Melatonin is a powerful scavenger of hydroxyl radicals produced by Ecstasy. It helps reset the biological clock disrupted by staying up all night.

e-VITALIZe™…daytime energy & alertness

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HCl)
Vitamin B6 is a necessary cofactor for replenishing neurotransmitters in the brain. It is required to manufacture norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin and phenylethylamine from Phenylalanine.

L-Tyrosine
L-Tyrosine is an amino acid precursor for catecholamines (phenethylamine, dopamine and norepinephrine) that activates the catecholamine energy production pathway. L-Tyrosine increases brain energy, combats stress maintains circadian rhythm synchronicity and reduces depressive symptoms.

L-Phenylalanine
L-Phenylalanine is an amino acid precursor to L-tyrosine that boosts catecholamines (phenethylamine, dopamine and norepinephrine), increases brain energy, combats stress and reduces depressive symptoms.

DMAE Bitartrate
DMAE helps remove metabolic waste products, scavenges hydroxyl radicals from brain tissue and acts as a precursor for acetylcholine, the transmitter most associated with memory and learning.

Schizandra Root Extract (standardized for Schizandrins-9%)
Schizandra Root Extract is a traditional Chinese herb that increases the glutathione, a major component of the endogenous antioxidant shield. Schizandra antagonizes the adverse stimulatory properties of Ecstasy.

Ginkgo Biloba Standardized Leaf Extract (24%)
Ginkgo Biloba is a brain penetrating antioxidant that increases cerebral blood flow and enhances cognitive functioning.

Vinpocetine
Vinpocetine is a nootropic derivative of the periwinkle plant that functions to boost memory, enhance cognitive functions and cerebral blood flow.
