Solgar Neuro Nutrients is a dietary supplement in phytocapsules, with a complex combination of free amino acids, B vitamins, vitamin C, choline, soy lecithin and standardized Ginkgo biloba leaf extract. Each phytocapsule provides 167mg L-phenylalanine, 167mg L-tyrosine, 167mg L-glutamine, 100mg vitamin C, 41mg choline, 33mg soy lecithin and 7mg Ginkgo biloba extract, along with thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and vitamin B6. The package contains 30 phytocapsules.
It is aimed at adults who want a multifactorial formula instead of a single nutrient, usually in periods of increased mental demands, intensive reading, long hours in front of screens or feeling of tiredness. Because it contains phenylalanine, it is not suitable for people with phenylketonuria.
L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine are amino acids that the body uses as building materials for protein synthesis, while L-tyrosine is metabolically derived from phenylalanine. L-glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in plasma and muscles. Amino acids as a category do not have approved health claims in the European Union, so the description here remains on what they are and where they participate biochemically, without promising an effect.
The picture is different for vitamins. Thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and vitamin B6 are water-soluble vitamins that the body does not store in large amounts, so they need regular intake from the diet. They function as cofactors in enzymatic reactions of energy metabolism, i.e. in the process by which cells convert macronutrients into usable energy. Thiamine contributes to the normal function of the nervous system and normal psychological function, riboflavin protects cells from oxidative stress, niacin and vitamin B6 reduce fatigue and tiredness.*
According to the product presentation by Solgar, Neuro Nutrients is described as a unique combination of vitamins, amino acids and Ginkgo biloba leaf extract, with the following points highlighted in its communication:
The above statements are attributed to the producer. The amino acids and Ginkgo biloba extract do not have approved health claims by the EFSA and remain the subject of research.**
It suits students and professionals in periods of high workload, who want a formula with B vitamins and C instead of many separate preparations. It also suits adults with monotonous or restrictive diets, where the intake of water-soluble vitamins may not be sufficient, as well as those looking for a phytocapsule without gluten, dairy and sugar. It is not suitable for people with phenylketonuria, due to its phenylalanine content. It is a dietary supplement and does not replace medical diagnosis, monitoring or treatment by a health professional.
