Parasym Plus™ supports the parasympathetic nervous system PLUS it crosses the blood-brain barrier to promote cognition (thinking and memory). Parasym Plus™ is the ONLY supplement blend proven to do so, and it is patented. Parasym Plus™ works by supporting the production of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine — needed by the vagus nerve, the brain, and other nerves of the parasympathetic nervous system. By supporting acetylcholine, Parasym Plus™ allows normal vagus nerve function. The vagus nerve allows normal digestion – including bowel movements, gallbladder function, and proper stomach acid production. It also supports the vagus nerve’s ability to slow the heart and breathing which allows us to relax, as well as its role in balancing inflammation. Eye moisture is maintained by its effect on the nerve that produces tears (the lacrimal nerve, part of the parasympathetic nervous system). Parasym Plus™ promotes a calm state while maximizing brain power. It is unique — it is patented.

All of the ingredients in Parasym Plus™ are generally regarded as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Please consult your health care practitioner if you have any questions about its use in your case. Parasym Plus™ does not contain gluten, corn, salt, sucrose, starch, nuts, yeast, artificial colors or flavors. All ingredients can be found here: Parasym Plus Ingredients™

For best results, take 2-3 capsules first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

Yes, you can! We recommend that you begin with 2-3 capsules, taken first thing in the morning. If adding a second dose, the best time is usually early afternoon. We don’t recommend that you take Parasym Plus™ after about 4pm because the increase in brain power may make it more difficult to sleep at night (if taken late in the day).

Parasym Plus™ tends to work better when taken on a basically empty stomach, but can be taken with other supplements. All of the ingredients in Parasym Plus™ are generally regarded as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Please consult your health care practitioner if you have any questions about its use in your case.

The parasympathetic nervous system controls motility — movement of the stool through the GI tract. The vagus nerve is the parasympathetic nerve that promotes regular bowel movements. Parasym Plus™ supports all aspects of vagus nerve function — PLUS it boosts acetylcholine needed by the brain and other parasympathetic nerves. Most people who take Parasym Plus™ report that within a month a bowel movement is “knocking at their back door” when they get up in the morning — much like a normal person! Normalization is a great thing in the bathroom.

We recommend that you always try to keep Parasym Plus™ in the capsule. If you absolutely must remove it, we recommend mixing it with something like applesauce. You may need a bit more Parasym Plus™ (perhaps an additional capsule) to make up for some of the ingredients clinging to the capsule or spoon, however.

We have tested samples of alpha-GPC with a test to determine allergens called PCR (lab is Genetic ID), and we do not detect DNA fragmentation for soy at any level. However, due to the current FDA Food Allergen Labeling & Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) ruling, alpha-GPC currently requires the labeling of ‘soy’.

Even though you are experiencing frequent bowel movements it is fine to take Parasym Plus™. Benefits of Parasym Plus™ extend beyond bowel movements and include optimal cognition and mental sharpness, ocular moisture, gallbladder and pancreas support, and normalization of a fast heart rate. Remember that Parasym Plus™ is not a laxative or a stool softener.

Parasym Plus™ works by boosting levels of acetylcholine — the neurotransmitter needed by the vagus nerve, the brain, and THE LACRIMAL NERVE! The lacrimal nerve stimulates the lacrimal gland to produce tears. By supporting acetylcholine levels, ocular moisture is normalized. It can take about 4-6 weeks for the full effect, but there is a good chance that you will need no more eye drops soon!

Our recommended suggested usage instructions should work for all body weights. With this in mind, we recommend starting with the suggested dose, then if necessary, experiment with higher doses.

Because SIBO is often a result of poor digestion with less than optimal organ function (stomach acid production, gallbladder and pancreatic function) and because constipation and delayed gastric emptying accelerates problems with dysbiosis, you need optimal organ function and bowel movements to recover. What is great is that recovery need not involve antibiotics if you can optimize your gut function. The vagus nerve controls all aspects of digestion and supports the vagus nerve (and can normalize bowel movements and nutrient absorption), and Parasym Plus™ supports the vagus nerve.

If your pain is due to inflammation, you need your vagus nerve working well. The vagus nerve is the anti-inflammatory nerve of the body and it helps to control chronic pain. Parasym Plus™ is the only patented supplement mix that supports vagus nerve function.

Parasym Plus™ was designed to stimulate the postganglionic vagus nerve or the receptor itself, bypassing the need for a functional (preganglionic) vagus nerve. Because the vagus nerve is so long, it is very prone to damage. You do not need to know if your vagus nerve is damaged to get the benefit from Parasym Plus™.

Everyone is different, if you need Parasym Plus™ because you have genetic issues with making acetylcholine, you have a damaged nerve, you take anticholinergic medications, or you have chronically blocked release of acetylcholine (due to inflammation or aging, for example), then it will be needed long-term. Should you be low in acetylcholine temporarily, such as increased inflammation from intense exercise or short-term illness, then it may only be needed short-term! You do not need to know if your nerve is damaged, or if you have genetic issues with the manufacturing of acetylcholine — Parasym Plus™ works around these. It works directly on the postganglionic nerve or the receptor itself and it works around all genetic issues with acetylcholine. It is unique, it is tested, and it is patented!

This varies widely from person-to-person. In the majority of cases, customers see improvements within one week of regular use.

The type of Vitamin B6 contained is pyridoxine hydrochloride, the most widely used and studied form of B6, known for its safety and efficacy. It is included in a very small amount that falls well within the safe and recommended daily intake levels.

The production of digestive enzymes is under control of the vagus nerve. Vagus Nerve Support™ Digestive Enzymes are specially formulated for those needing vagus nerve support, who tend to be quite sensitive. Levels of protease are moderated because protease can be rough on the digestive tract, and inulin is omitted because it can encourage bloating. More is not always better! Cellulase should never be included in digestive enzymes because humans need cellulose (fiber) for normal stools (unlike cows and termites). These digestive enzymes contain ingredients to help maintain normal levels of candida and flora of the small intestines. It is time-released for maximal effectiveness, with nothing your body doesn’t need.

All of the ingredients in Vagus Nerve Support™ Digestive Enzymes are generally regarded as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Please consult your health care practitioner if you have any questions about its use in your case. Vagus Nerve Support™ Digestive Enzymes does not contain gluten, corn, salt, sucrose, starch, nuts, yeast, artificial colors or flavors.

Most everyone needing vagus nerve support tends to be sensitive to additives and at TJ Nutrition® we work hard to make sure nothing is in our products that could be problematic for sensitive individuals. Maltodextrin is not added to our digestive enzymes, but is used as a part of the manufacturing process of deriving and stabilizing the enzymes. ALL enzyme manufacturers must use maltodextrin in this process — there are no exceptions. It is not required to list this as an additional ingredient because it is not actually added to the blend, but we feel it is important to disclose everything concerning our products. These maltodextrin molecules are part of the enzyme complex, but are found only in trace amounts. It is interesting to know that although all digestive enzymes must use this process, because the small trace amounts of maltodextrin need not be included in the chemical analysis, some distributors of other enzyme brands may not even be aware that traces of maltodextrin molecules can be found in their products! But they are there, without exception. At TJ Nutrition®, we continue to take proactive steps to make sure our products are geared toward even the most sensitive individuals, and we test the products beyond what FTC requires to ensure we are bringing you only the best!

Vagus Nerve Support™ Soothing Digestive Aid is a unique product created to support proper acid levels for digestion while soothing the digestive tract and promoting motility. Stomach acid production is normally under control of the vagus nerve, but when the nerve is struggling, Vagus Nerve Support™ Soothing Digestive Aid provides the support it needs. It also includes ginger, which soothes the digestive tract, and promotes normal motility. The combination of ginger and apple cider vinegar provides an amazing level of support for digestion and this blend is formulated with sensitive digestive tracts in mind.

Maltodextrin is found in trace amounts in Vagus Nerve Support™ Soothing Digestive Aid because it is necessary to make apple cider vinegar powder. There are no exceptions — all apple cider vinegar powder contains trace amounts of maltodextrin. At TJ Nutrition®, we would prefer to add no additional ingredients, but these small amounts of maltodextrin are an exception because there is no other method of making apple cider vinegar powder! We know how important it is NOT to swallow apple cider vinegar in liquid form because it exposes the esophagus to acid — and the esophagus should not have acid poured on it regularly (think of the dangers of acid reflux, and this makes more sense)! Maltodextrin comes from plants and is water soluble. The FDA has deemed it “GRAS” – Generally Regarded as Safe”. Maltodextrin in this amount adds no nutritional value and no calories. It doesn’t alter your blood sugar. At TJ Nutrition®, we continue to take proactive steps to make sure our products are geared toward even the most sensitive individuals, and we test the products beyond what FTC requires to ensure we are bringing you only the best!

The parasympathetic nervous system is the calming system of the body, allowing you to relax and de-stress. Your autonomic nervous system is made up of two, complementary systems – your sympathetic nervous system (“fight or flight”) and parasympathetic nervous system (“rest and digest”). When immediate action is needed, your sympathetic nervous system releases stress hormones which help to get you moving, allowing you to flee or fight. When the body is ready to calm down, the parasympathetic nervous system releases acetylcholine. This release calms the nerves that support a relaxation response. Heart rate slows, breathing normalizes and digestion can begin. The body depends upon the parasympathetic nervous system to allow relaxation.

Illness, genetic defects, and normal aging can reduce the amount of acetylcholine in your body.

The longest cranial nerve in the body, the vagus nerve regulates both the heart and digestion. Although spoken of as if it is one nerve, the vagus nerve includes both a right and left vagus nerve. It regulates the parasympathetic nervous system, the calming, relaxing system of the body.

The vagus nerve innervates digestive organs involved in everything from swallowing to intestinal motility.

Through its innervation at the sinoatrial node of the heart, the vagus nerve helps to slow a high heart rate. The vagus nerve helps to calm the heart rate and normalize heart rate variability.

The vagus nerve tells your lungs to breathe when it releases acetylcholine.

When the body produces inflammation and inflammatory cytokines, the vagus nerve becomes alerted. When the need for inflammation has passed, the vagus nerve is responsible for reducing this inflammation. The vagus nerve is the body’s cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway and its function is critical to maintaining the balance of good inflammation (needed to recover from illness and injury) and bad inflammation (chronic inflammation that can lead to chronic illness).

Your vagus nerve initiates your body’s relaxation response. When under stress, your sympathetic nervous system (the “flight or fight” system) dumps stress hormones into your body. Your vagus nerve and parasympathetic nervous system release acetylcholine to calm down this stress response, allowing you to relax.

By supporting both acetylcholine levels and vagus nerve function, Parasym Plus™ protects the health of many bodily functions. The vagus nerve helps control your heart rate by releasing acetylcholine needed by receptors on your heart. Acetylcholine is a major neurotransmitter in the brain, essential for clear thinking and the retention of memories. Your parasympathetic nervous system controls the body’s ability to “rest and digest” and requires optimal levels of acetylcholine to work efficiently. The parasympathetic nervous system tells your body to be calm and relaxed, and to focus on digestion. Your vagus nerve signals your spleen – a critical organ involved in maintaining healthy immunity and inflammation levels. As part of the anti-inflammatory pathway, the vagus nerve also controls inflammation independently of the spleen.

The vagus nerve can become damaged by injuries, surgery, autoimmune disorders or compression. When damaged, the vagus nerve no longer releases enough acetylcholine to trigger proper digestion.

Vitamin C in supplements can be sourced from natural or synthetic sources. “Natural” are not what they may seem! Natural vitamins are sourced from plants, fruits, animals, and minerals, and then refined and processed in a lab. To be able to use the label “natural” a vitamin supplement need contain only 10% plant or fruit derived ingredients. The other 90% could very well be synthetic. Our vitamin C comes from synthetic L-ascorbic acid. You can be assured that it meets the strictest standards for quality!
