Product Overview

Synapsin® Description1-7

Synapsin® Nasal Spray is a compounded prescription formulation intended to support neurological health and cognitive function. It is administered intranasally to bypass the blood–brain barrier and facilitate delivery of the medication to the brain. The formulation contains ginsenoside Rg3 and nicotinamide riboside as its active components.

Ginsenoside Rg31,2

The ginseng plant contains more than 100 different ginsenosides. Ginsenoside Rg3, one of the most extensively studied ginsenosides derived from Panax ginseng, may exhibit notable pharmacological activity, including hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, and immune-supporting properties. It may also demonstrate antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor effects. The primary ginsenosides—Rb1, Rb2, and Rd—can be readily metabolized into ginsenoside Rg3.

Nicotinamide Riboside3,4

Nicotinamide riboside is a form of vitamin B3 and functions as a precursor to NAD⁺, similar to nicotinamide and nicotinic acid. It serves as a potent NAD⁺ enhancer. Nicotinamide riboside may support conditions related to neurodegeneration, metabolic dysfunction, and cardiac fibrosis. In particular, it may influence inflammatory processes associated with Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. In individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, NAD⁺ levels are often reduced, which may be associated with neuroinflammation, cellular injury, and increased proinflammatory cytokines.

Ginsenoside Rg31,2

Ginsenoside’s actions to decrease inflammation in neurogenerative diseases is related to its effect on signaling pathways such as activator protein 1 and protein kinase A and the regulation of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and nitric oxide. Ginsenosides may improve learning and memory through their effect on signaling pathways and mediators. It is thought that ginsenoside may reduce neuroinflammation and promote survival.

Nicotinamide Riboside3,4

Nicotinamide riboside increases intracellular NAD+ levels. NAD+ is critical for metabolism and physiological function. It accepts electrons during metabolic reactions to become NADH (reduced form). NADH uses the electron to donate to other molecules. This is important for ATP production in the body. This process occurs during glycolysis, fatty acid oxidation, and the TCA cycle. There is a continuous conversion of NAD+ to NADH in cells in the body which is critical for energy flow. NAD+ is also important for sirtuin regulation (DNA repair, inflammation processes, and fat metabolism). It is a substrate for PARPs (poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases) (repair of damaged DNA), and is important to prevent neurodegenerative processes.
