Avipaxin Product Information

Avipaxin

* Patent-Pending Formula! * Decreases Pro-inflammatory cytokines * Normalizes cytokine-induced neurotransmitter imbalances * Supports acetylcholine levels * Improves mood, sleep quality, memory, and mental clarity

Changes in mood and mental health are frequently associated with pro-inflammatory cytokines that trigger imbalances in certain neurotransmitters. Avipaxin supports normal brain function by utilizing acetylcholine and the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway to decrease elevated pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Avipaxin contains Huperzine A, which is a potent inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase, the enzyme that metabolizes acetylcholine. Blocking acetylcholinesterase increases circulating levels of acetylcholine. Avipaxin also contains α-Glyceryl Phosphoryl Choline (α-GPC) and Acetyl-L-Carnitine. These ingredients supply choline and acetyl groups, respectively, for acetylcholine synthesis.

Recently, research1 on the role of the role of the vagus nerve in mediating immune activation has been done and it has been found that cytokines released upon immune challenge activate the vagal nerve that result in increased cortisol levels via the Hypothalmic-Pituitary-Adrenal axis2. Vagal pathways from the brain secrete acetylcholine, which binds to activated immune cells and down-regulates those cells’ pro-inflammatory cytokine production3. Avipaxin supports acetylcholine levels, leading to a down-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and a subsequent normalization of neurotransmitter concentrations4. 1.
