TravaCor 120 Capsules

TravaCor by NeuroScience uses a unique combination of amino acids with vitamin and mineral cofactors to calms inhibiting neurotransmitters, which in turn will enhance mood. NeuroScience has formulated this blend with the right amount of theanine, 5-HTP and taurine. TravaCor also includes vitamin and mineral cofactors that help synthesize neurotransmitters in the brain.

Theanine

Theanine is included for its ability to produce a calming effect that prevents over-stimulation. It has been shown to reduce anxiety and high blood pressure. It has also been studied for its role in making cancer drugs more effective and for presenting Alzheimer’s. Theanine is an amino acid, so it is used by the body to make protein, but it also helps transmit nerve impulses to the brain. Theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid that is found in green tea. It has even been shown to have a calming effect on the hyperactivity caused by caffeine intake. NeuroScience’s research indicates that theanine reduces epinephrine, norepinephrine and urinary excretion.

5-HTP

NeuroScience included 5-HTP in its TravaCor product for its ability to support the body’s production of serotonin. Serotonin can affect appetite, temperature, pain receptors, sleep and sexual behavior, so if the body is deficient in this chemical, a person may experience insomnia, obesity and depression among other things.

5-HTP is used to treat migraines, anxiety, insomnia, depression, eating disorders, premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), among other things. As you can see from the list of disorders related to inadequate serotonin, it is crucial to ensure that you have adequate levels of 5-HTP.

Taurine

Taurine is another amino acid, so it is a building block for protein, but it also supports brain health and development, and it helps regulate the amount of mineral salts and water in the blood. Studies have shown that taurine may also have antioxidant properties. It is a natural amino acid that is found in breast milk, fish and meat, but it is also commonly available as a dietary supplement. Current research suggests that taurine may even improve sports performance, which explains why you often find it listed as an ingredient in sports drinks.

One of the most important functions of taurine, and one reason it is included in TravaCor, is its ability to enhance the effect of GABA. GABA, or gamma-Aminobutyric acid, plays a key role in regulating excitability throughout the nervous system, so it is effective at helping the body combat stress and hyperactivity. GABA is an amino acid, but it is one of the few amino acids that is not used in protein production. GABA also plays a role in muscle function. Without GABA, your muscles would be tense, your mind would race constantly and your ability to function would be extremely impaired.
