Ingredients explained
L-Tyrosine
L-tyrosine is a precursor for dopamine and norepinephrine, which may support neurotransmitter production involved in alertness and focus.
Caution: May cause restlessness in some people; avoid taking late in the day if sensitive to stimulatory effects.
L-Phenylalanine
L-phenylalanine converts to L-tyrosine, helping supply raw material for catecholamine neurotransmitters.
Caution: Contains phenylalanine; not suitable for people with phenylketonuria (PKU) and may interact with certain medications.
Ginkgo biloba extract (leaf) standardized to 24% ginkgoflavonglycosides and 6% terpene lactones
Standardized ginkgo extract may support cerebral blood flow and antioxidant defense in neurons.
Caution: May increase bleeding tendency; use caution with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol bitartrate)
DMAE is studied for influencing choline metabolism, which may support acetylcholine-related signaling involved in attention.
Caution: May cause mild headache or sleeplessness in sensitive individuals; avoid taking close to bedtime.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HCl)
Vitamin B6 acts as a cofactor for enzymes that convert amino acids into neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine.
Caution: High intakes over time may cause tingling or numbness; follow label directions.
How they work together
Tyrosine and phenylalanine provide building blocks for dopamine and norepinephrine, while vitamin B6 supports the enzymatic steps that convert these amino acids into neurotransmitters. Ginkgo extract may aid brain circulation and antioxidant balance, and DMAE may support cholinergic activity, creating a broad approach to cognitive performance.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Consult a physician if you are pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Phenylketonurics (PKU): contains L-Phenylalanine.
Who should be cautious: People with bleeding concerns or using blood thinners may use caution due to Ginkgo. Those sensitive to stimulants or with anxiety may use caution with DMAE. Individuals with phenylketonuria should avoid due to L-Phenylalanine. If you take anticoagulants, antiplatelets, or have bleeding disorders, discuss with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place after opening.

Norepinephrine and Dopamine are key neurotransmitters for the maintenance of alertness and mental acuity and for promoting a feeling of general well-being. These two neurotransmitters are produced in the body from the amino acid precursors L-Tyrosine and L-Phenylalanine. This conversion process also requires Vitamin C and B-6 as cofactors. NOW® True Focus™ combines these important nutrients with other ingredients like Ginkgo biloba and DMAE to complement this formula.
