Verifiable Science

DopaPlus promotes the production of dopamine to support daily cognitive function and performance on mental tasks. This formula provides the dopamine precursors L-tyrosine and L-DOPA (from Mucuna pruriens). In a randomized, controlled, double-blind, crossover trial, Mucuna pruriens supplementation promoted L-DOPA plasma concentrations.¹ The cofactors vitamin B₆ , folate (as Metafolin^® L-5-MTHF) and zinc support dopamine production.² Studies show that supporting optimal serum levels of these nutrients promote positive mood.³ Rhodiola and green tea polyphenols promote the stability of dopamine and maintain healthy dopamine reuptake.⁴ Grape seed proanthocyanidins support cognitive function and mental sharpness.⁵ Green tea and grape seed polyphenols help to maintain neuronal health and function.^6‡
