Want to be more creative Need to get a promotion Make more money It all starts with your ability to use your brain Think outside the box, use your imagination, brain storm U4EA can help your brain to work at its best. 2-Aminoethane sulfonic acid2ASA:Just one of the many amazing ingredients in U4EA 2ASA is the smallest and simplest of amino acids: its structure is so straightforward that it doesnt even have D- and L- forms. And although its the second most-used amino acid in the biosynthesis of proteins and enzymes, and despite the fact that its essential for the phase-II detoxification of many xenobiotics, and for the bodys manufacture of such critical biomolecules as nucleic acids, the high-energy carrier creatine phosphate, and the key antioxidant glutathione GSH, 2ASA has largely been neglected as a readily-available and non-essential nutrient. But all that has changed in the last few years. Recent reviews in the scientific literature have had titles like 2ASA an inert amino acid comes alive and 2ASA: a novel antiinflammatory, immunomodulatory, and cytoprotective agent. As research into this conditionally-essential amino acid has progressed, the health impacts associated with the real limits of availability of 2ASA and the benefits of supplementation well above the levels readily available from the diet have become increasingly clear. 2ASA is emerging as a critical unsung hero of human nutrition for brain and body. 2ASA, NMDA, and Memory The importance of the N-methyl-D-aspartate NMDA receptor to memory was shown dramatically with the Doogie mouse, which has an extra copy of one subcomponent of the receptor. These mice have a significantly boosted performance on a wide range of learning and memory tasks, including an improved ability to solve mazes, to learn from the sights and sounds in their environment, and to retain that knowledge perhaps more importantly, they retain superior memory into ages when memory in normal mice is falling. The problem with the NMDA receptor is that its main activator is glutamate, an excitatory amino acid with a dark side. Excessive stimulation of the NMDA receptor by glutamate causes a deadly overstimulation of the neuron called excitotoxicity, which eventually burns the brain cell out. Overactivation of the glutamate site is believed to underlie a great deal of the damage wrought on brain cells in Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease, strokes, and other Neurodegenerative conditions Fortunately, there is another site on the NMDA receptor complex, allows for the safer activation of this key receptor. This co-agonist site is activated by 2ASA instead of glutamate. Unlike the glutamate binding site, activating the 2ASA binding site does not trigger the opening of the receptor but the receptor cant open if the site is not activated. Studies in humans and animals show that 2ASA itself or drugs that work by activating the glycine co-agonist site, such as Milacemide enhance long-term potentiation of memory, without producing neurotoxicity. In one randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, a 2ASA sublingual formulation was tested for its effects on memory in healthy students and in middle-aged men. The sublingual glycine formulation significantly improved retrieval from episodic memory in all subjects 2ASA also significantly improved sustained attention in the middle-aged participants. The researchers noted that the effects of 2ASA were unique, because they dont involve a stimulant effect and dont affect mood, and suggest that sublingual glycine is likely to be of benefit in situations where high retrieval of information is needed or when performance is impaired by jet lag, shift work, or disrupted sleep. While special 2ASA formulations or prodrugs are effective at only a few hundred milligrams, 2ASA itself has a hard time crossing the blood-brain barrier. Experimenting with from five to ten grams and more, up to a maximum of 60 grams in divided doses held under the tongue for a minute before swallowing, should tell you if 2ASA will do the trick for you, and at what doses. 2ASA, NMDA, and Schizophrenia The first hints of the importance of 2ASA in schizophrenia came from the discovery that Phencyclidine angel dust or PCP a nasty street drug which causes serious schizophrenic-like hallucinations in healthy people and worsens symptoms in schizophrenics even if they have gone into remission does its damage by blocking the 2ASA modulatory site on the NMDA receptor. Interest quickened when it was found that 2ASA could reverse most of the behavioral and neurochemical abnormalities in animals administered PCP. Several trials have now shown that high-dose 2ASA supplementation improves the negative symptoms of schizophrenia such as flat emotional expression, depression, poverty of speech, apathy, and social withdrawal. This is an important result, since most schizophrenia medications only affect the positive symptoms of the disease, such as the hallucinations. 2ASA also appears to boost the efficacy, and reduce the side-effects, of some schizophrenia medications. One exception is the drug clozapine, perhaps because the drug itself may work by modulating the NMDA receptor. Limited success has been observed at doses of 10 grams per day better results are seen at 30 or 60 grams. 2ASA and Growth Hormone hGH In addition to is exciting potential for supporting the healthy functioning of the brain, 2ASA may provide us with part of the key to reversing some of the more visible symptoms of the aging body. For some time, research has been focusing in on the age-related loss of human growth homone hGH, or somatotropin as a major source of the symptoms of aging. hGH helps keep our bones strong, our immune systems vigorous, our wound-healing abilities optimal. It builds muscle and burns fat. Its levels are high in our youth, when all of these functions are at their peak, and their decline follows the decline in many aspects of youthful function. As experiments by Dr. Daniel Rudman and others have shown, administration of hGH to aging humans can bring about changes in body composition which are equivalent in magnitude to the changes incurred during 10-20 years of aging. While many substances are touted as hGH precursors or secretagogues, few are actually documented to boost levels of the hormone and of those that are, many are marketed in formulas in which they are mixed in with other factors that blunt their effectiveness, or are only effective at doses significantly higher than the recommended dose. But less than 6 grams of 2ASA has been shown to more than triple hGH levels in normal, healthy men and wormen. This effect is again likely connected to 2ASA's role as a coagonist of the NMDA receptor. Glucose Metabolism The surge of blood sugar that happens following a meal especially one high in carbohydrates andor in glycemic index is a metabolic roller coaster, leading to sugar highs and crashes, carb cravings, metabolic dysregulation, and ultimately insulin resistance and ill-health. Finding new ways to control this post-meal jump in blood sugar is an important part of maintaining our health. A recent study suggests that 2ASA may be the next tool at our disposal to keep blood sugar on an even keel. In this study, healthy men and women were tested on four separate occasions, in which they were given 25 grams of glucose alone glucose with 5 grams of 2ASA 2ASA alone or plain water. The plain glucose, unsurprisingly, rushed into the volunteers bloodstreams, leading to a huge "
