Euphoria. Energy. Motivation. Creativity.

All a result of DOPAMINE.

Too bad so many of us are low on it.

Here's 5 tools that'll help you boost it (that you've never heard of):

#1 Mucuna Pruriens (velvet bean)

This is the closest you can get to ingesting pure dopamine.

Mucuna Pruriens contains DOPA - the direct precursor to dopamine.

This bypasses the regulatory steps that normally prevent you from producing enough dopamine.

The result? You get tons of dopamine, with little risk of adverse events or addiction potential.

Mucuna Pruriens raises dopamine levels in the brain.

Notably, in the cortex, which:

→ Enhances working memory
→ Improves attention / focus
→ Improves executive function
→ Optimizes emotional regulation
→ Facilitates meaning, fulfillment, purpose

Mucuna is an antidepressant.

This is thanks to its ability to raise dopamine it improves:

➜ Mood
➜ Motivation
➜ Energy

& even has a favorable safety profile compared to DOPA on its own.

Typically used at 250-500 mg of a standardized 15% L-DOPA extract.

#2 Bromantane

In the late 90s, bromantane was written about as a new doping agent - with Russian olympians being disqualified for its use.

Needless to say, it aids in performance, quite a bit - by raising dopamine.

Bromantane supercharges dopamine.

An immediate rise in dopamine can be seen within hours of its administration.

It seems to do this by increasing the expression of the two key dopamine producing enzymes:

➠ Tyrosine hydroxylase
➠ Dopa decarboxylase

Typically 50-100 mg.

#3 Phenylethylamine

Phenylethylamine is closely related to dopamine and amphetamine (adderall).

But it is produced by the body - also found in foods like cacao.

It works by:

➡ Inhibiting dopamine reuptake
➡ Releasing dopamine from vesicles

both of which result in higher dopamine in the synapse.

Phenylethylamine levels are often low in depression / ADHD - supplementing it rapidly reverses depression.

PEA can rapidly:

◇ Elevate mood
◇ Induce euphoria
◇ Enhance motivation

by enhancing the release of dopamine.

Especially potent in combination with MAO-B inhibitors.

Has the potential for excessive stimulation so careful administration is necessary - phenylalanine is the dietary precursor.

#4 Panax (ginseng)

Ginseng is a a plant full of compounds known as ginsenosides.

These compounds have various dopamine promoting effects.

For instance, the Ginsenoside Rg1:

☆ Increases vesicular dopamine content
☆ Promotes secretion of dopamine from said vesicles

Ginseng boosts dopamine, improves ADHD.

Ginseng helps release dopamine in key brain regions:

◇ Prefrontal cortex
◇ Striatum

translating to improvements in:

◇ Attention
◇ Hyperactivity / impulsivity
◇ Coordination

#5 Forskolin

Another plant with dopamine producing effects, forskolin works on several different components of the dopamine signaling process, increasing:

➜ Conversion of tyrosine into dopamine (TH)
➜ Dopamine release from synaptic vesicles
➜ Dopamine receptors

Forskolin also enhances dopamine signaling.

Essentially, dopamine works through a few of its main receptors by turning on an enzyme called adenylate cyclase,

which tells the receiving neuron to transmit the dopamine signal.

Forskolin ups adenylate cyclase in response to dopamine.

If your dopamine / motivation / energy are low, chances are something deeper is going on that we can help with.
