ExcitaPlus 120c by Neuroscience
This product contains non-glandular ingredients that are essential for adrenal health and reducing stress-induced fatigue. It provides a higher concentration of L-tyrosine and Rhodiola per capsule compared to AdreCor. The key ingredients are L-tyrosine, Rhodiola Rosea root extract (5% rosavins), L-methionine, Mucuna cochinchinensis (99% L-DOPA), and vitamins B and C. L-tyrosine is a precursor to catecholamines such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Rhodiola Rosea is an adaptogen that has been shown to reduce stress-induced effects in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. It also significantly reduced mental fatigue and improved general well-being. L-methionine is a precursor to S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe). SAMe is involved in methylation processes, including catecholamine synthesis. Mucuna cochinchinensis is a natural source of L-DOPA, which crosses the blood-brain barrier and is a precursor to catecholamines. Vitamins B and C, in their active forms of pantothenic acid, niacin, B6, folate, and C, are necessary for the synthesis of adrenal hormones and catecholamines. This product is unique in the marketplace for its high concentration of ingredients that are important for adrenal health and reducing stress-induced fatigue. It may help address symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. However, it is important to note that this product has not been approved by the FDA.References
