Homotaurine supplement studied in neuronal protection

Homotaurine is a brain nutrition supplement in vegetarian capsules with benefits for cognitive ability.

What is Homotaurine?

Homotaurine, or 3-amino-1-propanesulfonic acid, is a natural-source organic compound found in certain seaweeds. Though chemically similar to taurine, with only one additional carbon atom in its chain, it offers cognitive protection that taurine does not provide. Structurally similar to the neurotransmitter GABA, it also has similar effects and may be useful as an anti-convulsant.

Why take Homotaurine supplement?

Memory problems, which increase with advancing age, can develop as a result of aggregation of the protein beta-amyloid - responsible for the loss of neurons in the hippocampus. Homotaurine represents a major, natural supplement for combatting this disease. It interacts with soluble beta-amyloid protein, inhibiting the formation of the neuro-toxic aggregates that result in beta-amyloid plaque deposits in the brain which in turn produce dysfunction - and ultimately death - of brain cells. Taking homotaurine stems the increase in these plaques and reduces their toxic effects on the brain, thus protecting memory and learning function.

Homotaurine is a key neuro-nutrition supplement for slowing down age-related decline in brain capacity. Recent studies on homotaurine have highlighted its neuroprotective effects in a specific area of the brain, the hippocampus, which is the site of memorisation and learning. Everyday manifestations of age-related physiological decline in brain neurons include:

• Slowness in conceptualising and generating ideas.
• Confused state.
• Difficulty retaining new information.
• Frequent forgetfulness.
• Loss of cognitive function, and an obvious slowing down in performing daily tasks.

What are the benefits associated with Homotaurine?

According to clinical studies conducted in Europe and North America, homotaurine:

• Protects the hippocampus region associated with memory and learning and reduces atrophy by around 68%, compared with placebo.
• Supports the memorisation process.
• Limits memory loss and cognitive decline associated with beta-amyloid plaque toxicity.
• Protects brain cells from premature ageing.
• Helps to maintain comprehension and development of ideas, particularly during presentations, and is thus excellent for those giving speeches and for teachers.
• Improves the ability to plan and execute tasks by ensuring the necessary recall at the right moment.

For optimal efficacy, the recommended dose is 50g in the morning and 50g in the evening, to be taken with meals. No side-effects are associated with these doses.
