The Science Behind Restore Gold™

Restore Gold™ has rapidly become the go-to for hundreds of Parkinson’s Disease sufferers. Seeing positive feedback in more than 80% of cases, the capsules contain seven specific ingredients that have brought impressive relief to some with PD. Utilizing recent published research, the capsules are one of a kind. But what is the science behind Restore Gold™?

A revolutionary product that’s made up of large dosages of seven specific ingredients that have been supported by the latest Parkinson’s research, the Restore Gold™ capsules have provided results for sufferers in as little as three months.

Thanks to continued research, experts now know that a primary cause of Parkinson’s is mitochondrial dysfunction, with secondary causes being neural oxidation, neural inflammation, and alpha-synuclein aggregation all causing a toxic overload on surrounding neural cells in the substantia nigra.

One of the key ingredients in Restore Gold™ is n-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), with 400mg per serving. Having recently demonstrated the ability to increase dopamine binding by 9% and improve UPDRS score results by 13% in clinical trials, this ingredient has impressed Parkinson’s researchers ever since.

Another key ingredient in Restore Gold™ is green tea leaf (EGCg). Sitting at 200mg per serving, the extract is designed to help neutralize stress-induced free radicals and inflammation. Extensive research on the effects of green tea has suggested that this natural product, which is used in so many cultures, in so many different ways, shows that the neuroprotective/neurodegenerative effects of green tea catechins not only act as antioxidants metal chelators, but also as modulators of intracellular neuronal signaling and metabolism, cell survival/death genes, and mitochondrial function.

L-tyrosine has been a long-term interest in Parkinson’s research. With fewer side effects than other treatments, L-tyrosine significantly increased CSF tyrosine levels in groups of patients, indicating that L-tyrosine administration can increase dopamine turnover in patients with disorders, such as Parkinson’s.

Parkinson disease has been associated with systemic defects in mitochondrial function for years and is considered the number one problem in causing Parkinson’s disease to progress. And the best of these characterized is reduced activity of complex I of the electron transport chain. After many years of research, it became clear that some autosomal, recessive forms of Parkinson’s are caused by mutations in genes that affect mitochondrial function or quality control. As perhaps the most important ingredient, TUDCA (Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid) has been has been added to Restore Gold™ capsules due to the research suggesting it can actually restore mitochondrial function.

There are of course three more ingredients in Restore Gold™, each added due to their positive support in Parkinson’s research, Grape Seed Extract, Acetyl L-Carnitine, and Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) are also included at specific dosages.
