Brava Nutrition - Designs for Health DOPABoost

DopaBoost™ was designed to increase the body's natural production of dopamine, one of the body's primary catecholamines.

Dopamine is essential for the normal functioning of the central nervous system and is associated with attention, learning, movement, balance, and mood regulation. This may be necessary in the clinical support of degenerative neurological disorders related to dopamine activity, such as Parkinson's disease and dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD).

Key Ingredients

Macuna pruriens - a botanical which naturally contains L-DOPA, the metabolic precursor to dopamine, which can cross the blood-brain barrier. The Macuna material in DopaBoost is standardized to contain an extremely potent 60% L-DOPA.
EGCG (from green tea extract) – antioxidant; brain-protecting properties. These polyphenols in green tea offer neuroprotective effects, help to increase availability of dopamine. EGCG has been shown to have a positive effect on the electrical activity of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, the area of the brain where dopamine is made.
Quercetin – a flavonoid present in many fruits and vegetables, naturally inhibits COMT (catechol-o-methyl transferase) and MAO activities, the key enzymes involved in the metabolism of dopamine. Quercetin works synergistically with Macuna pruriens and EGCG as it helps to preserve dopamine levels.
N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine - the acetylated derivative of l-tyrosine, the amino acid from which dopamine is synthesized. Acetylation helps to increase the stability and solubility of tyrosine, making it more efficient and bioavailable, and therefore, the superior choice for raising the body’s levels of tyrosine.
Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate - vitamin B6 in its metabolically active form; needed for the decarboxylation of L-DOPA to dopamine. P5P is a coenzyme for dopa decarboxylase, the enzyme responsible for the conversion of L-DOPA to dopamine. Dopa decarboxylase is important in the improvement of Parkinson’s disease.

Product Contains: Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate) 5 mg, N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine 750 mg, Macuna (Macuna pruriens) [standardized to contain 60% L-dopa (3, 4 Dihydroxy-L-Phenylalanine)] 425 mg, Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) (leaves) [standardized to contain 50% EGCG] 100 mg, Quercetin 100 mg

This product does not contain: wheat, yeast, soy, gluten, eggs, ndairy, corn, artificial colors, flavors, sugars, or preservatives.

Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take one capsule two times daily, or as directed by your health care practitioner.

Who Should Not Take

Those who test high in the metabolites HVA and VMA should not take DopaBoost™, but instead would benefit from NeuroCalm™, a blend of nutrients designed to support calming brain activity.

DopaBoost™ should not be used with:

MAOIs (Nonspecific monoamine-oxidase inhibitors), powerful antidepressant drugs

Antipsychotic drugs, such as phenothiazines, butyrophenones and reserpine

Antihypertensive drugs such as guanethidine and methyldopa (may cause increased hypotension)

Use DopaBoost™ cautiously with dopaminergic drugs such as amantadine, benserazide, carbidopa, atropine, and amphetamine, only under the guidance of a trained health care professional.

DopaBoost™ 60 Capsules Price:$42.00 Watch: Nic Marks - The Happy Planet Index Statistician Nic Marks asks why we measure a nation's success by its productivity -- instead of by the happiness and well-being of its people. He introduces the Happy Planet Index, which tracks national well-being against resource use (because a happy life doesn't have to cost the earth). Which countries rank highest in the HPI?
