Now Foods, True Focus is a dietary supplement that contains the precursors of neurotransmitters – noradrenaline and dopamine – and cofactors which accelerate their production. These mediators are crucial to keep vigilance and psychical keenness. They promote the general well-being. In the body system, they are derived from amino acids – L-Tyrosine and L-Phenylalanine. This conversion process requires also the presence of vitamins C and B-6.

Now Foods, True Focus combines the above mentioned amino acids and vitamins with other components – Ginkgo biloba, DMAE, taurine and ubiquinone. The result of this combination is mental capacity maximizing without negative side effects.

Vitamin C (from potassium ascorbate) is essential for proper brain functions and its development. Moreover, it fights free radicals, improves brain functions and it is a cofactor in dopamine conversion to noradrenaline. It stimulates the neurons activity, facilitates creating engrams (memory traces), learning, memorizing and reproducing information. It improves concentration and general well-being. It is a strong antioxidant.

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) – a water-soluble vitamin. It may occur in forms of six compounds which are mutually transformed – pyridoxine, pyridoxamine and pyridoxal, and phosphate esters of these compounds. After applying, vitamin B6 is absorbed from the digestive tracts and it is stored mainly in muscles and in the liver in form of pyridoxal phosphate.

The dopamine synthesis from levodopa requires a catalyst in form of DOPA decarboxylase, which requires the presence of pyridoxal phosphate (vitamin B6) that acts as a coenzyme. Thus, dopamine – the neurotransmitter of pleasure, motivation, coordination and concentration – will not be produced at the vitamin B deficiency.

By delivering additional doses of vitamin B6, the psychical and physical energy levels may be increased, the communication between brain cells may be improved or you may even prevent damages of particular neurons (caused by their aging). It has been proved that vitamin B reduces the risk of Parkinson's disease and it shows a positive influence on the behavior of autistic children.

Potassium (from potassium ascorbate) improves brain oxygenation and nerves functions. In fact, the brain is better oxygenated which results in improved concentration and mental processes.

L-Tyrosine (a free form) – an organic chemical compound. L-stereoisomer is one of twenty basic protein amino acids. L-Tyrosine is essential for the synthesis of neurotransmitters, noradrenaline and dopamine. These are essential for a clear mind, quick thinking, long-term memory and presence of mind. Additional tyrosine contained in Now Foods, True Focus will improve your motivation.

L-Phenylalanine (a free form) is an essential amino acid. It should be delivered with food because it is not synthesized in the body system. As a one of twenty amino acids coded in DNA, it is the basic component of majority of naturally occurring proteins. The L-form occurs in the nature.

L-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid which is converted into L-Tyrosine in the liver. It may be also transformed in the brain because it can cross the blood-brain barrier which influences its efficiency. Furthermore, it is a precursor of phenethylamine (PEA) – a neuromodulator which is responsible for an effect known as a "runner's high"

Taurine (a free form) influences the central nervous system. It is considered to be a neurotransmitter. It is, among others, a GABAA receptors antagonist. Taurine improves cognitive functions and learning process by increasing the metabolism of glial cells and of all other neurons (indirectly).

Extract from grape seeds (Vitis Vinifera), standardized on polyphenols, contains OPC (Oligomeric Procyanthocyanidins) and other antioxidants. These components protect the brain and the nervous system as well as positively influence their functions, prevent dementia and support natural therapies in hyperactivity treatment. Simultaneously, OPC activates the vitamin C and improves its functioning.

DMAE (from dimethylaminoethanol bitartrate) is a precursor in acetylcholine synthesis in the body system. Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) is a compound which occurs naturally in the brain. It improves memory, mood and concentration.

Ginkgo Biloba (leaf) extract (50:1) is a standardized extract – minimum 24% of Ginkgo flavonoid glycosides. It stimulates the brain functions. It improves memory and concentration. It has a preventive effect – prevents migraine. It contains compounds that inhibit monoamine oxidase.

The Ginkgo Biloba extract supports the central nervous system, sensitizes the receptors to serotonin (called a happiness hormone) and improves the transportation of dopamine, which is of great importance for motor coordination.

Ginkgo Biloba improves memory and the ability to concentrate. That is why it is used for slowing down dementia and in its treatment among older people, patients with multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease (especially in its early stages).

CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10), in form of ubiquinone, blocks aging processes, eliminates free radicals, improves immunity and brain functions and gives energy. Ubiquinone is essential in cellular respiration – it plays a role of a transporter of electrons and protons to FADH2, which is essential for ATP synthesis because the electrons energy makes it possible to transport hydrogen protons into transmembrane area in mitochondrion. Returning H(+) ions transmit kinetic energy, which is transformed into cell energy and stored in ATP molecules.

To sum it all up, Now Foods, True Focus is a dietary supplement recommended for intellectuals and for people tired with their physical work, because it improves the nervous system functions. It is recommended for prevention for all people, due to its valuable health-promoting properties. It can also prevent the nervous system diseases and it improves the mood.
