Dopamine Advantage, 30 vegetarian capsules - Life Extension

Health benefits at a glance:

First of all – what is dopamine? It is a “feel good” neurotransmitter also essential for cognitive function and mental drive. Dopamine Advantage’ formula of phellodendron bark powder and Adenosylcobalamin B12 can help your brain maintain normal dopamine levels.

Why it works:

Dopamine is a brain chemical and has many essential functions. It’s produced in your brain and released into synaptic clefts, the microscopic spaces between your neurons, to relay signaling information from one neuron to the next.

Unfortunately, factors such as nutrition, aging, environmental changes and stress can though cause a decline in dopamine levels, affecting cognitive performance, motivation and even lead to a wide variety of health issues.

Both of the nutrients in our brain-friendly formula of Dopamine Advantage can maintain youthful dopamine levels in the brain by actively inhibiting enzymes that break down or affect dopamine, which leaves more dopamine available to the brain.

The science behind the product:

Our innovative formula can support motivation and focus, thanks to a combination of phellodendron bark powder and a special neurologically active form of vitamin B12:

• Phellodendron bark and MAO-B: Phellodendron amurense, commonly known as amur cork tree, has many health benefits, including neuroprotective properties. In a detailed 2016 screening study, Phellodendron amurense ranked as one of the most potent extracts for inhibiting the activity of monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B), an enzyme involved in the metabolism of dopamine. (1)
• Adenosylcobalamin and LRRK2: Adenosylcobalamin is a neurologically active form of vitamin B12—it can cross the brain-blood barrier and it’s more readily available to the brain. A 2019 study showed vitamin B12 also protects the brain from oxidative stress and that it modulates Leucine-Rich Repeat Kinase 2’s (LRRK2) activity, an enzyme that regulates dopamine levels. (2-4) Add Dopamine Advantage to your daily regimen and “motivate” your brain to stay sharp and focused.

Together, these nutrients can protect your brain cells from cellular stress and encourage healthy dopamine levels, promoting concentration and helping you stay focused on your task at hand.
