Why Dopamine Nutrients Works
You probably know dopamine as the “feel good” neurotransmitter. It is part of your brain’s reward system and is released when you do something pleasurable.
When dopamine levels are optimal, you feel:
- Happy
- Motivated
- Focused
When your dopamine levels are low, you may experience
- Tiredness
- Lack of motivation
- Low mood
- Sleep problems
- Low sex drive
- Memory problems
- Poor concentration
You would want your dopamine levels to be as high as possible then right?
Not exactly.
Just like everything else in your body, you want to strike a balance. Low levels of dopamine are problematic, but so are high levels. Excessive dopamine can result in aggression, trouble sleeping, and poor impulse control. The byproducts of dopamine metabolism can also cause damage to your brain cells.
This is why simply making more dopamine isn’t the solution.
Dopamine Nutrients supports production, utilization, metabolism, and antioxidation capability.
Production is supported with L-tyrosine, the primary ingredient needed to make dopamine, and ginkgo biloba which supports the rate limiting enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase (TH).
Due to its high metabolic activity and fat content, your brain is extremely susceptible to damage from free radicals. A healthy response to oxidative stress and healthy levels of inflammation are supported by the antioxidant properties found in royal jelly, Safr’Inside™ and Curcugen™. Royal jelly is also a natural source of biopterin. Biopterin is a cofactor needed by your tyrosine hydroxylase enzyme in order to function.
The final step in dopamine production is performed by your DOPA-decarboxylase (DDC) enzyme. In order to complete this task, it requires P-5-P (Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate). This nutrient also supports glutathione production. Why support glutathione production? Dopamine metabolism produces byproducts that can harm brain cells. Glutathione helps to support the normal removal of these byproducts.
Once dopamine is made, it is released by your cells and binds to receptors. It is this binding that results in the effects of dopamine. However, once it has been released, certain enzymes break down the dopamine. Though this is necessary, you don't want it happening too quickly. Curcugen™ helps to support the healthy metabolism of dopamine. In doing so, it also supports healthy levels of the resulting byproducts.
Lastly, ginkgo biloba supports the healthy reuptake of dopamine. If it is not broken down, transporters take dopamine back into the cells that released it. This is your brain’s primary way of storing dopamine for later use. This also supports healthy levels of dopamine signaling.
