Neurochemistry Substrate

Meaning

The foundational biochemical compounds, precursor molecules, and essential cofactors that are critically required for the de novo synthesis, efficient storage, and controlled release of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides throughout the nervous system. These substrates include specific amino acids, vitamins, and trace minerals that directly fuel the complex, rate-limiting enzymatic pathways of neurochemistry. Optimal substrate availability is a necessary precondition for stable mood, balanced cognition, and effective central neuroendocrine communication.
