Cognitive Nutrition - L-DOPA 250 mg 120 caps

Cognitive Nutrition - L-DOPA 250 mg 120 caps

L-DOPA (3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine) is a naturally occurring amino acid found in the human brain and in certain plants (Macuna pruriens aka velvet bean). L-Dopa is produced from the amino acid L-Tyrosine via the enzyme tyrosine 3-monooxygenase (previously called tyrosine hydroxylase).

 

L-Dopa crosses blood-brain-barrier and converts into Dopamine by the Vitamin B-6 dependant enzyme aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase. Indirectly by increasing Dopamine L-DOPA causes a significant HGH release and suppresses excessive Prolactin release in healthy adults.

 

Neurochemical effects:

 

: Raises levels of dopamine

 

Supports mental alertness and mood

 

: Releases human growth hormone (HGH)

 

Supports physical strength and well being

 

: Reduces excessive Prolactin levels

 

Suggested Use: 250 mg 1-2 times daily with juice or water.

 

When will I feel it? Can be noticed within a few hours to a few days.

 

What works best with it? EGCG (from Green Tea extract) acts as a natural decarboxylase inhibitor which helps prevent excessive levels of Dopamine from building up in the body rather than the brain.

 

Quercetin acts as a natural catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) inhibitor that improves L-DOPA's conversion into Dopamine in the brain and helps prevent Dopamine breakdown.

 

Warning: Avoid taking in high doses with other compounds that potently affect Dopamine, such as, other dopamine precursors (L-Tyrosine, D-Phenylalanine, L-Phenylalanine), Dopamine agonists Phenylethylamine, Bromocriptine, or MAO-A or B Inhibitors (Deprenyl). If you have hypotension or any health conditions consult a healthcare professional before using.
