Cognitive Aminos is a dietary supplement from Pure Encapsulations formulated to provide amino acid precursors for cognitive function and healthy neurotransmitter activity. The formula delivers five free-form amino acids — DL-Phenylalanine, Taurine, L-Tyrosine, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, and L-Tryptophan — in a vegetarian capsule.
L-Tyrosine is an amino acid that serves as a precursor to neurotransmitters including L-dopa, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, supporting mood and mental clarity. DL-Phenylalanine provides a mixture of d-phenylalanine and l-phenylalanine; l-phenylalanine converts to tyrosine in the body, and both d- and l-phenylalanine support levels of phenylethylamine, a function not provided by l-tyrosine alone. Taurine is considered an inhibitory amino acid that helps maintain healthy glutamate and other excitatory amino acid activity in the brain, supporting healthy brain cell function. Acetyl-L-Carnitine participates in multiple metabolic pathways in the brain, contributes to production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, and may support dopamine receptor function, playing a role in memory, attention, mental clarity, and mood. L-Tryptophan rounds out the formula as an additional amino acid precursor for neurotransmitter support.
Cognitive Aminos is certified gluten-free by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO), non-GMO, free from soy and dairy, and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Pure Encapsulations formulates without wheat, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners, coatings or shellacs, magnesium stearate, trans fat, hydrogenated oils, and unnecessary binders, fillers, or preservatives.

DL-Phenylalanine — A mixture of d- and l-phenylalanine that supports neurotransmitter production and helps maintain healthy levels of phenylethylamine; l-phenylalanine also converts to tyrosine in the body to support catecholamine neurotransmitter synthesis.
Taurine — An inhibitory amino acid that helps maintain healthy glutamate and excitatory amino acid activity in the brain, supporting normal brain cell function.
L-Tyrosine — A precursor to the neurotransmitters L-dopa, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, supporting mood and mental clarity.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine — Participates in multiple metabolic pathways in the brain, contributes to acetylcholine production, and may support dopamine receptor function, playing a role in memory, attention, mental clarity, and mood.
L-Tryptophan — An amino acid precursor that supports healthy neurotransmitter activity.
