Composition and method to augment and sustain neurotransmitter production
View Patent ↗This invention describes a method and composition to enhance the synthesis and release of the neurotransmitters by the oral administration of neurotransmitter precursors, along with natural plant substances that stimulate uptake of the neurotransmitters precursors, while adding natural plant substances that activate adenylate cyclase in order to avoid attenuation and prevent pharmacologic tolerance. The invention describes compositions for a medical foods that are designed to improve cognitive function, induced sleep, a improve Parasympathetic function, improve autonomic balance, increase nitric oxide production, reduce blood pressure, increase blood flow, and treat virus infections. The compositions include amino acids such as choline, herbs such ginkgo biloba , and other foods such as coca. The invention also describes the use of physiologic tests such as 24 hour ECG monitoring to create the appropriate combinations and assess the useful proportions.
1. A method for stimulating nitric oxide production and white blood cell production in order to produce antiviral activity, comprising orally administering to a subject in need thereof a composition comprising:
at least one first component selected from the group consisting of choline, glutamate, arginine, and histadine in the range of from about 1 mg to about 1000 mg;
at least one second component selected from the group consisting of Ginkgo Biloba , ginseng, cinnamon, nutmeg, and St. John's Wort in the range of from about 1 mg to about 200 mg;
at least one third component selected from the group consisting of cocoa, caffeine, and theobromine in the range of from about 1 mg to about 200 mg;
at least one fourth component selected from the group consisting of hawthorn berry and caffeine in the range of from about 1 mg to about 200 mg; and
at least one fifth component selected from the group consisting of Echinacea and ginseng in the range of from about 1 mg to about 200 mg;
wherein the proportions of the five or more components are determined by testing said subject using a physiologic test selected from the group consisting of heart rate, 24 hour Electrocardiogram analysis, blood pressure, body temperature, skin temperature, and a neurotransmitter blood test.
2. The method for stimulating nitric oxide production of claim 1 wherein said oral administration provides a function selected from the group consisting of preventing, treating, ameliorating and reducing the duration of at least one of the following conditions selected from the group consisting of viral infections, including herpes simplex, herpes zoster, retroviruses, Human immunodeficiency virus, adenoviruses, and rhinoviruses.
3. The method for stimulating nitric oxide production of claim 1 wherein the composition further comprising at least one sixth component selected from the group consisting of glutamate, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine in the range of from 1 mg to 200 mg.
4. The method for stimulating nitric oxide production of claim 1 wherein said oral administration is provided in a form selected from the group consisting of capsules, suspension caplets, chewable wafers, tablets, or powders.
5. A method for enhancing nitric oxide neurotransmitter activity, comprising orally administering to a subject in need thereof a composition comprising:
at least one first component selected from the group consisting of arginine and choline in the range of from about 1 mg to about 100 mg;
at least one second component selected from the group consisting of Ginkgo Biloba , ginseng, cinnamon, nutmeg, and Echinacea in the range of from about 1 mg to about 200 mg;
at least one third component selected from the group consisting of cocoa, caffeine, and theobromine in the range of from about 1 mg to about 200 mg;
at least one fourth component selected from the group consisting of neuroexicitatory amino acids, glutamate, glutamic acid, and glutamine in the range of from about 1 mg to about 200 mg; and
at least one fifth component selected from the group consisting of hawthorn berry and caffeine in the range of from about 1 mg to about 200 mg;
wherein the proportions of the five or more components are determined by testing said subject using a physiologic test selected from the group consisting of heart rate, 24 hour Electrocardiogram analysis, blood pressure, body temperature, skin temperature, and a neurotransmitter blood test.
6. The method for enhancing nitric oxide neurotransmitter activity of claim 5 wherein said oral administration is provided in a form selected from the group consisting of capsules, suspension caplets, chewable wafers, tablets, or powders.
