Active Ingredients in the Deanna Protocol®
AAKG
AAKG is alpha-ketogluterate (AKG) with arginine (A) added to it. Alphaketogluterate (AKG) is an essential molecule in the Krebs cycle. The Krebs cycle is responsible for energy production that keeps cells alive and functioning the way they should. Arginine is an ingredient in the Deanna Protocol® that makes the AKG easier on the digestive system.
GABA
Gamma-Aminobutyric acid is an amino acid produced naturally in the brain. GABA functions as a neurotransmitter, facilitating communication among brain cells. GABA’s big role in the body is to reduce the activity of neurons in the brain and central nervous system. (Several studies show that GABA may not pass the blood brain barrier (BBB*). However, we know that the BBB in those neurodegenerative diseases is not in-tact and, therefore, allows GABA to pass through and be effective.)
*The BBB is a filtering mechanism of the capillaries that block certain substances from reaching the brain and spinal-chord.
Directions for taking the Deanna Protocol®
- Take one heaping scoop mixed with 8 (or more) oz of water and a full meal, 2 – 3 times daily.
- If muscle twitching, fasciculations, and cramping continue, increase servings until symptoms stop. Do not exceed 9 scoops per day (3 scoops 3 times daily).
- If you experience muscle cramping at maximum servings, but twitching and fasciculations have ceased, take GABA pills along with the Deanna Protocol® until cramping stops. Be sure to consider quality and purity over price when shopping for GABA supplements. Not all supplements have the same bioavailability and equal effectiveness.
- If you experience stomach discomfort, decrease servings until this stops. Then, increase dosage very gradually every 1-2 weeks to allow stomach to acclimate.
- This product retains potency best when refrigerated.
PRODUCT FACTS
The facts, in one place
What is in it, what it does, how long it lasts and the evidence behind it.
| Intended use | cellular energy and motor function support |
|---|---|
| Product form | powder (scoop) |
| Best for | Ideal for someone just starting the Deanna Protocol®, or anyone taking the starter serving of three scoops a day who wants one tub at a time. |
| Key benefits | One tub, about 90 heaping scoops: the starter serving size, Designed to support motor function, neural signaling and cellular energy, Patented formula of nutrients naturally found in the body: AKG, arginine and GABA, Unflavored or Citrus Medley, with the same amount of actives in each, No artificial preservatives, dyes or flavorings and no unnecessary fillers, Made in the United States in a CGMP facility; every batch tested |
| How to use | One serving is one heaping scoop mixed with an 8 to 12 oz glass of water, taken with a full meal. If you are new to the Deanna Protocol®, begin with three servings a day, each taken with food. If you do not achieve the desired results at the lowest serving quantity, steadily increase daily servings, not exceeding nine servings a day unless you receive specific approval from your doctor. If you experience stomach discomfort, decrease servings until it stops, then increase very gradually every one to two weeks so your stomach can acclimate. This product retains potency best when refrigerated. The unflavored scoop is a bit smaller than the Citrus Medley scoop but delivers the same amount of active ingredients, so take the same number of scoops. Unflavored may taste a little bitter; mix it with a strongly flavored drink such as cranberry juice or a smoothie. Always consult your physician when taking the Deanna Protocol®. |
| How often | three servings a day with meals to start; up to nine a day only with your doctor's approval |
| Who it is for | This product is for people living with ALS, and the caregivers who order for them, who are new to the Deanna Protocol® or take the starter serving of three scoops a day. The nutrients are ones naturally found in the body, and at the published servings they should not be harmful provided you have no other medical issues or contraindications with substances or drugs you already take. As with any dietary supplement, check with your doctor to make sure following the protocol is safe for you specifically. |
| Key ingredients | Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) (an essential molecule in the Krebs cycle, the energy-production pathway that keeps cells alive and functioning); L-arginine (added to the AKG as AAKG to make it easier on the digestive system); Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) (an amino acid produced naturally in the brain that functions as a neurotransmitter, facilitating communication among brain cells). |
| Full ingredient list | Unflavored: gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG), L-arginine. Citrus Medley: the same amounts of GABA, AKG and L-arginine plus pineapple fruit powder, citric acid, monk fruit, natural orange flavor and beta carotene. |
| Formula facts | Patented formulation of nutrients naturally found in the body, No artificial preservatives, dyes or flavorings, No unnecessary fillers or excipients, Made in the United States in a facility that follows the FDA's CGMP standards, Every batch tested, with a certificate of analysis, Made in small batches, Free shipping within the United States, 30-day money-back guarantee on direct orders |
| Flavor | Unflavored, or Citrus Medley (natural orange and pineapple) |
| What to expect | Results vary from person to person. The protocol is taken daily with meals and adjusted gradually: begin at three servings a day, and if you do not achieve the desired results at the lowest serving, increase steadily toward the nine-a-day ceiling with your doctor's approval, allowing one to two weeks between increases so your stomach can acclimate. At the starter serving one tub lasts about a month, which is why the 1 Pack is the starting point; people who settle on a higher serving move to the 2 Pack or 3 Pack. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. |
