trichA large minority of people (~30%) using properly balanced amino acid therapy will achieve a complete resolution of symptoms using only NeuroReplete and CysReplete at the proper dosage. However, many others will require the addition of other formulas to increase the amounts of serotonin, dopamine or both in the system. One of the formulas often used in this process is RepleteExtra.

RepleteExtra was formulated to be used in addition to NeuroReplete when it is desired to increase both serotonin and dopamine in a balanced manner. RepleteExtra contains only L-tyrosine, 5-HTP and folic acid. It does not contain the basic cofactors (vitamins and minerals) that are found in NeuroReplete, highlighting the need to use these products in combination with one another.

By providing L-tyrosine and 5-HTP in a balanced ratio, RepleteExtra works with NeuroReplete to increase the levels of dopamine and serotonin, respectively, in a balanced fashion. Using clinical experience and functional testing when needed, a trained health care professional can help a large number of people (~80%) achieve a complete resolution of symptoms using only these formulas in the proper dosage. If testing indicates the need for additional cofactors, other formulas such as TyrosineReplete, D5 Mucuna or 5-HTP may be employed. We will explore each of these formulas in other posts.
