Theramine is an all-natural medical food that is FDA approved for the treatment of chronic pain and inflammation. Medical foods provide nutrients that are depleted in particular disease states. Theramine provides important amino acids, that increase the production of serotonin, GABA, serine and acetylcholine. These neurotransmitters play a key role in regulating pain syndromes, safely and effectively.
Theramine is effective in treating pain due to fibromyalgia, headaches, back pain and inflammation. Theramine works as well as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication such as Advil and Aleve, to reduce pain and inflammation. Since Theramine is a natural supplement containing amino acids, nutrients and botanicals, it is not associated with the serious side effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication, such as bleeding, bruising, stomach irritation and kidney damage.
In a clinical trial, Theramine was found to be more effective than low dose ibuprofen for treatment of chronic low back pain. Theramine is a proprietary formulation of neurotransmitters, amino acids, antioxidants, neuro-modulators, anti-inflammatory and immune-modulatory peptides, whey protein, and adenosine antagonists. The different ingredients are precursors to neurotransmitters that perform a variety of functions. Acetylcholine is an important neurotransmitter in the reduction of pain and inflammation. Theramine contains the precursor of acetylcholine, choline bitartrate, which activates the parasympathetic nervous system and is responsible for inhibiting pro-inflammatory chemicals in the body called cytokines. Theramine also contains 5HTP, a precursor of serotonin, and l-glutamine, a precursor of GABA, which are key players in the perception of pain. Additional ingredients, such as l-histidine and l-serine, enhance the reduction of inflammatory substances and inhibit pain signals.
In a small clinical trial, a group of patients were treated with either Theramine, a combination of Theramine and naproxen or with naproxen alone. The group treated with Theramine and naproxen had significant improvement in their pain and did better than the patients treated with naproxen alone. Theramine significantly reduced low back pain within a few weeks of starting the trial.
