Health Benefits of Deprenyl

Aging & Life Extension

 Deprenyl may retard the Aging Process in the Brain by preventing damage and death to the Brain''s Neurons by Free Radicals.  [1]

 Deprenyl may possess Life Extension potential:  [2]

 Studies have demonstrated that Deprenyl increases the life span of mice by an average of 40% - this would equate to 15 - 20 years of human life.

 Deprenyl may extend the life span of Parkinson''s Disease patients.  [3]

 Deprenyl may extend the life span of persons afflicted with Immunosuppressive Ailments.  [4]

Cardiovascular System

 Deprenyl may facilitate recovery from Stroke.  [5]

Cells

 Deprenyl may prevent the death (apoptosis) of Mitochondria.  [6]

Immune System

 Deprenyl may help to prevent some types of carcinogens from initiating Cancer - Breast.  [7]

 Deprenyl may help to reverse the age-related decline in the function of the Immune System.  [8]

 Deprenyl may extend the life span of persons afflicted with Immunosuppressive Ailments.  [4]

 Deprenyl may stimulate the regeneration of Axons associated with Norepinephrine that innervate the Spleen (which leads to improved cell-mediated Immune System responses).  [10] 

Metabolism

 Deprenyl may alleviate Fatigue:  [11]

 Deprenyl may alleviate Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).  [12]

 Deprenyl may inhibit the oxidation of Low Density Lipoproteins.  [13]

Nervous System Enhancement

 Deprenyl may increase Alertness.  [14]

 Deprenyl may alleviate the Apathy that may occur following Head Injuries.  [15]

 Deprenyl may increase Assertiveness. 

 Deprenyl may improve Attention Span in Alzheimer''s Disease patients, Parkinson''s Disease patients, and possibly in normal, healthy persons. 

 Deprenyl may improve Learning ability in Alzheimer''s Disease patients and may retard the decline in Learning ability associated with the progression of the Aging Process.  It may also improve Learning ability in normal, healthy persons.  [16]

 Deprenyl may improve Memory.  [17]

 Deprenyl may improve Memory - Short-Term.  [18]

 Deprenyl may improve Spatial Memory.  [19]

Nervous System Ailments

 Deprenyl may facilitate the regeneration of Motor Nerves in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients.  [20]

 Deprenyl may be useful for the treatment of Alzheimer''s Disease:  [21]

 Deprenyl may improve the Memory, Attention Span, Concentration, Learning ability and Verbal Ability of Alzheimer''s Disease patients.  [16]

 Deprenyl may retard the impairment of Blood Circulation to the Parietal Lobes (Cerebral Blood Flow) that occurs during the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease.

 Deprenyl may retard the destruction of Neurons in the Brains of Alzheimer’s Disease patients.

 Deprenyl may be useful for the treatment of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), due to its ability to increase Brain levels of Phenylethylamine (PEA), a Neurotransmitter that is depleted in ADHD patients.  [23]

 Deprenyl may alleviate many forms of Depression (especially when combined with 1,000 - 6,000 mg of Phenylalanine per day) including these forms of Depression:  [24]

 Depression - Major:  [25]

 Deprenyl is ideally administered in conjunction with Phenylalanine (1,000 - 6,000 mg per day) to alleviate Major Depression.

 The dosage of Deprenyl for the treatment of Major Depression may be further reduced by the addition of Vitamin B6 (100 mg per day) to the previous formula.

 Manic Depression  [26]

 Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

 Deprenyl may facilitate withdrawal from the Drug Dependence caused by Cocaine and Tobacco.  [27]

 Deprenyl may alleviate the Apathy that may occur following Head Injuries.  [28]

 Deprenyl (20 mg per day) may reduce the severity of Narcolepsy.  [29]

 Deprenyl may be a very effective treatment for Parkinson''s Disease and it is speculated that by using Deprenyl from the age of 45 onwards, Parkinson’s Disease may be prevented:  [3]

 Deprenyl may retard the further progression of Parkinson''sDisease and may lengthen the period of time required before newly diagnosed Parkinson''s Disease cases require treatment with L-Dopa.

 Deprenyl may improve the subjective feelings of Energy in Parkinson''s Disease patients.

 Deprenyl may improve the Mental Function (including Attention Span, Memory and Reaction Times) of Parkinson''s Disease patients.
