Hey! Thinking of buying NS Dopamine Brain Food, not many reviews out there online. Can anyone give any feedback on whether this works or not?
Any side effects or negatives to the ingredients?
Appreciate any help or advice anyone can provide....thank you!
The ingredients are....
L-Phenylalanine
As a precursor to dopamine, this essential amino acid is directly converted into phenylethylamine, an important neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. It is converted into Ltyrosine in the body by phenylalanine hydroxylase. It’s present in many foods such as eggs, meat and dairy.
L-Tyrosine
A non-essential amino acids found in many foods including meats and dairy that is converted by tyrosine hydroxylase into L-DOPA, the direct precursor to dopamine.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxal-5-phosphate)
An essential vitamin that is also a necessary cofactor that is used by the enzyme DOPA decarboxylase to convert L-DOPA into dopamine.
Vitamin C(Quali-C®)
A familiar essential vitamin and antioxidant found in high amounts in fruits. It is a cofactor that helps dopamine βhydroxylase convert dopamine into noradrenaline. Vitamin C speeds up this conversion process and plays an important neuroprotective role.
Folate (Quatrefolic® L-Methylfolate), Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin), & Trimethylglycine(TMG)
These nutrients help turn homocysteine into SAM-E by acting as cofactors and substrates for the SAM cycle. Creating optimal amounts of SAM-E is important, as it is a precursor to the body’s natural production of many beneficial endogenous substances such as creatine. It also provides the methylation fuel that turns noradrenaline in to adrenaline.
Selenium
An essential vitamin and antioxidant that protects cells and helps keep the brain’s levels of dopamine producing enzymes at optimal levels.
