Support for the natural production of dopamine
DopaBoost™ is designed to support the body’s natural production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter essential for the normal functioning of the central nervous system.Dopamine is associated with attention, learning, movement, balance, and mood regulation. It is frequently referred to as part of the brain’s “reward” system, as it can help promote a positive outlook, motivation, and balanced moods.Dopamine exerts many of its effects in the central nervous system, but it does not cross the blood-brain barrier.Therefore, the way to raise dopamine levels in the brain is to provide precursor nutrients and other supportive compounds that do cross into the brain, where dopamine can then be synthesized from them. The primary ingredient in DopaBoost™ is Mucuna pruriens, a botanical compound that naturally contains L-DOPA, a precursor to dopamine which can cross the blood-brain barrier. Additional ingredients include EGCg (epigallocatechin-3-gallate), acetyl L-tyrosine, quercetin and vitamin B6, all selected for their synergistic roles in the production and regulation of dopamine.
Key Ingredients
• Mucuna pruriens – A tropical plant that is a natural source of L-DOPA, the metabolic precursor to dopamine. The Mucuna material in DopaBoost™ is standardized to contain an extremely potent 60% L-DOPA.
• EGCg (from green tea extract) – An antioxidant with brain-protective properties. The polyphenols in green tea offer neuroprotective effects and help to increase the availability of dopamine.
• Quercetin – A flavonoid present in many fruits and vegetables – it’s responsible for the bold pigments in red apples, red onions, grapes and dark berries. Quercetin naturally inhibits the activities of two enzymes—COMT (catechol-o-methyl transferase) and MAO (monoamine oxidase)—which are involved in the metabolism and breakdown of dopamine. Quercetin works synergistically with Mucuna pruriens and EGCg to help preserve dopamine levels.
• N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine – Tyrosine is the amino acid from which dopamine is synthesized. (Neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, serotonin and epinephrine, are made from mino acid building blocks.)
• Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (P5P) – Vitamin B6 in its metabolically active form. P5P is an essential cofactor for the enzyme that converts L-DOPA to dopamine, as well as onverting 5-HTP to serotonin, another “feel good” neurotransmitter that helps with a positive mental outlook. Other roles for P5P include healthy metabolism of proteins, proper hormone signaling, and synthesis of heme, the portion of hemoglobin that carries oxygen in the blood. For these reasons, adequate B6 levels may help maintain steady energy levels
