CYSTEINE
The use of 4,500 mg
per day of cysteine
may raise a few
eyebrows, but
NeuroResearch
Clinics data bases
held the key to
optimal sulfur amino
acid dosing, 4,500
mg per day. This is
unique data that
NeuroResearch
Clinics has
developed. So why
does NeuroResearch
Clinics recommend
using cysteine? Cost
is the only fact,
cysteine is very
cheap.
N-acetyl-cysteine,
methionine, or SAMe
can also be use but
they too need to be
dosed at 4,500 mg
per day.
Why so much
cysteine? Toxins in
the environment
deplete huge amounts
of sulfur amino
acids every day. It
has been estimated
that driving 30
minutes twice a day
consumes 1 gram of
sulfur amino acids
as glutathione
detoxifies the
toxins.
Tyrosine and
levodopa
deplete the sulfur
amino acids, which
leads to epinephrine
depletion. In the
sulfur amino acid
cycle, SAMe is also
depleted. One of the
leading theories on
why dyskinesia
occurs is based on
SAMe depletion. With
proper use of sulfur
amino acids (cysteine),
there have been no
observed any
incidences of
dyskinesia when
using levodopa for
Parkinson’s
Disease treatment.
The
philosophy
of sulfur
amino acid
supplementation
in treatment
of
Parkinson's
Disease is
to keep the
system
topped off
with
cysteine.
levodopa has a
strong
ability to
deplete the
sulfur amino
acids. If
you deplete
the sulfur
amino acids
glutathione
levels drop
and the
bodies
ability to
neutralize
the
neurotoxins
that cause
progression
of
Parkinson's
Disease is
compromised.
This in turn
allow for
the
Parkinson's
Disease to
get worse
over time as
further
neurotoxic
insult
occurs.
