Neuromelanin
Description
Neuromelanin is a modified form of Melanin that functions as a Neurotoxin - it is formed as a result of “Cellular Debris”.
Toxic Effects of Neuromelanin
Nervous System
Neuromelanin accumulates in the Substantia Nigra and Locus Coeruleus areas of the Brain (where in excessive amounts it functions as a Neurotoxin).
These Ailments may Increase Neuromelanin Production
Aging Process
The deposition of Neuromelanin in the Substantia Nigra and Locu Coeruleus increases in tandem with the progression of the Aging Process.
These Substances may Inhibit the Toxicity of Neuromelanin
Smart Drugs
Deprenyl may inhibit the increase in the deposition of Neuromelanin in the Substantia Nigra and Locus Coeruleus that occurs as a result of the Aging Process.
