Mood and Memory: It’s All About the Neurotransmitters, Part 1
February 16, 2021
When it comes to mood and memory, it’s all about the neurotransmitters—those vital chemicals that brain cells use to convey information. It is now well established that a proper balance of specific neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin will contribute to mental health, including the support of healthy mood and emotions. Dr. Neil Levin from the Protocol for Life Balance line of professional-grade nutritional supplements details several that can help to encourage brain production of dopamine and serotonin, Mucuna Extract, L-Tryptophan, and 5-HTP.

Supplementation for Cardiovascular Health, Part 1
June 16, 2020
The cardiovascular system can be divided into three main components: the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries), and blood. Each element of this triad has to constantly be at its best to allow the entire system to function properly and to ensure that each cell of the body receives the oxygen and nutrients it needs to thrive, as well as unload the by-products of normal cellular respiration such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and other metabolic by-products. Dr. Neil Levin, Senior Nutrition Education Manager and a product formulator for NOW(r) Foods and Protocol for Life Balance, details the benefits of three compounds, each acting at a different level of the cardiovascular system: menaquinone-7 (MK-7), ubiquinol, and nattokinase.

Achieving Optimal GI Health, Part 1
February 20, 2020
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is made of an extraordinarily complex system of organs working together to ensure that the foods we eat are smoothly and properly digested. It is also a powerful barrier against environmental aggressors, and the host of an abundant symbiotic microbiota. Dr. Neil Levin, award-winning board-certified clinical nutritionist and Senior Nutrition Education Manager and a product formulator for NOW Foods, details three compounds that work in different ways to support a healthy GI lining and healthy digestion: zinc-carnosine complex, melatonin, and peppermint oil.

Curcumin and Magnesium for Brain Health, Part 1
July 30, 2019
Protocol for Life Balance Senior Nutrition Education Manager Neil Levin weighs in on nutritional strategies for preventing cognitive decline. While BigPharma flounders in its multi-billion-dollar efforts to find a “magic bullet” drug against Alzheimer’s Disease, an estimated 28 million Baby Boomers are destined to suffer from the debilitating condition by mid-century. A new study suggests that simple lifestyle changes can mitigate risk even in those with Alzheimer’s genes. Levin discusses the science substantiating the brain benefits of curcumin and magnesium. But bio-availability is a problem; most forms of curcumin and magnesium don’t cross the blood-brain barrier. Levin highlights research on Curcumin SPLC (Cogumin) and magnesium threonate (Protosorb Magnesium). Other ancillary nutrients like phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, bacopa, huperzine, CoQ10, fish oil and tocotrienols also deserve consideration in a brain-protective regimen.
