Highly-absorbable chelated zinc picolinate

Neurobalance contains 24mg of the chelated mineral form, zinc picolinate (bound to picolinic acid), which is highly bioavailable. The absorption of zinc in the body is a complex process that involves passing through the intestines, into the bloodstream, and up into individual cells. When comparing zinc citrate, gluconate and picolinate, absorption is enhanced when zinc is complexed with picolinic acid. Zinc picolinate also retains levels in the body for longer.

Fully reacted, bioavailable magnesium citrate

Neurobalance contains the bioavailable fully reacted magnesium form, magnesium citrate, providing 120mg elemental magnesium citrate (from 752mg bulk magnesium). Magnesium that is fully reacted is chemically bound to its carrier as opposed to supplements being buffered or a blend of magnesium oxide and citric acid. Unless magnesium citrate is fully reacted, it will contain poorly absorbed magnesium oxide, which often has laxative effects and has low bioavailability. Secondly, being fully reacted, magnesium citrate is effectively fast-tracked through the digestive system to deliver higher levels into the body.

Vitamin B6 as body-ready pyridoxal-5-phosphate

Our nutrition scientists have formulated this product using the most active, body-ready form of vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 exists in 6 forms but only the pyridoxal-5-phosphate form has enzyme cofactor activity. Taking a supplement in this form is key as vitamin B6 metabolism is often compromised, impacting the conversion of dietary vitamin B6 to pyridoxal-5-phosphate in the body.

Brain health

As key nutrients for brain function, zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6 play an important role in neurotransmitter synthesis, therefore help to support cognitive and psychological function.

Neurobalance is an ideal supplement for improving cognitive function including concentration, memory and learning in both adults and children. Magnesium also provides resistance to mental stress.

Immune function

Zinc and magnesium play a direct role in maintaining normal immune function.

To further support the immune system, these vital minerals protect body tissues and cells from oxidative damage. This antioxidant activity helps to protect DNA, proteins and lipids from external factors such as pollutants, which is beneficial for health.

Energy & muscle health

Magnesium is a vital mineral involved in over 300 enzyme reactions in the body, fulfilling a wide range of physiological functions - from energy production to supporting muscular function.

Vitamin B6 and magnesium help with energy production and reduce tiredness and fatigue. Magnesium also supports normal muscle contraction and helps to maintain normal blood pressure, making it the ideal supplement for those seeking benefits for sport and exercise recovery.
