Helps to increase energy level:

• Balance: Even the greatest modern engine will not work without a decent amount of fuel. Our Balancing Formula contains three forms of resources necessary to run dopamine, including its precursors. There are also ingredients that act as catalysts: vitamin B3, vitamin B6, magnesium and SAM-e. The first three are cofactors of enzymes that participate in dopamine production. SAM-e, on the other hand, intensifies dopamine activity in specific parts of the brain. With this boost of vitamins and other essential compounds the amazing machinery of the brain can work harder, with a proper amount of energy and motivation.
• Active: Dopamine activity is the most efficient when the molecules of this neurotransmitter occur in the synapses and the neurons have a high amount of dopamine receptors. With the ingredients of the Activating Formula both of these conditions can be met. Herbal extracts found in this formula support a proper development of dopaminergic neurons (nerve cells that produce dopamine). Importantly, they reduce breakdown of this neurotransmitter in the synapses and slow down its reuptake. They also increase occurrence of dopamine receptors on cell plasma membranes. All these effects combined make NEURO-DOPA™ Active an excellent support for dopamine activity that brings more energy and helps to attain a goal-oriented approach.

Helps to maintain a positive attitude:

• Balance: The proper activity of dopamine brings much more benefits than just a greater amount of energy. This neurotransmitter is released during the activation of the reward system that mainly governs feelings of satisfaction and pleasure as well as motivation to take on new challenges and goals. Hence, maintaining a high level of this neurotransmitter is a great way to improve mood and to feel more energized. It is possible thanks to the ingredients of the Balancing Formula: precursors and cofactors that are necessary in dopamine production.
• Active: The ingredients of the Activating Formula improve dopaminergic activity. The main mechanism that provides that effect is reducing the activity of two enzymes that break down dopamine molecules – MAO and COMT. Because of that, this neurotransmitter can remain in the synapses and affect neurons for a longer time, stimulating the reward system and other brain structures that are prone to being excited by dopamine. MAO is an enzyme that deactivates yet another neurotransmitter – serotonin. This compound is commonly known as a “happiness hormone” for a specific reason. Its proper activity is crucial for maintaining a good mood and psychological comfort which makes it a good pair with dopamine. Natural extracts that are included in the Activating Formula are able to increase serotonin activity, improving psychological well-being. Research indicates that those herbs may lower the level of cortisol – a “stress hormone” – which is a sign that they can effectively improve stress resilience.

Improves intellectual capacity:

• Balance: When dopamine production and activity is intensified, the brain can work more efficiently. The proper activity of this neurotransmitter is vital for attention and working memory – the cognitive functions that are the basis of multitasking. With a decent amount of precursors and cofactors that are necessary to produce dopamine, the Balancing Formula helps the brain function at a high capacity.
• Active: Since the herbs included in NEURO-DOPA™ Active are able to support inhibition of dopamine reuptake and breakdown, they help to significantly raise the levels of this neurotransmitter in the synapses. In effect, dopamine can interact with nerve cells more efficiently, especially since there are more dopamine receptors on cellular membranes. Thanks to that, it is easier to concentrate on a particular task, to solve logical problems, or think analytically. But that’s not it. The herbs contained in the Activating Formula are able to stimulate the process of long-term potentiation (LTP). It is one of the main mechanisms that allow the brain to acquire new information and skills. In sum, this formula will certainly support efficient learning and all other activities that require a high level of focus.

Supports the nervous system:

• Balance: The ingredients of Activating Formula have been proven to positively affect the brain. They stimulate regeneration and production of new nerve cells. They can also intensify metabolic processes that occur in mitochondria, so the neurons can receive a greater amount of energy that is necessary for them to function efficiently. And since those ingredients are able to improve blood flow in the arteries that supply the brain, more oxygen and nutrients can reach this organ and properly power the neurons. In addition to that, this special formula has the ability to protect cells from reactive oxygen species and excessive inflammation. All these factors induce a positive effect on the whole nervous system, supporting its proper activity.
• Active: Activating Formula provides benefits for the functioning of the nervous system and helps to take care of its condition. The ingredients contained in this herbal composition stimulate neurogenesis (the process of new nerve cell formation) and neuroplasticity (the process during which new connections between the cells are created). Thanks to that, the brain can process information more effectively. But intense work of the brain requires greater amounts of oxygen and other essential substances. Herbal extracts contained in the Activating Formula improve blood flow within the nervous system, so they have a beneficial effect on intellectual performance. Just like the ingredients of the Balancing Formula, they exhibit neuroprotective properties which means that they are able to protect neurons from harmful factors, e.g. excessive amounts of free oxygen radicals, chronic inflammation or beta-amyloid. Because of that, they provide a decent support in prevention of many disorders and thus may improve efficiency of information processing.

Supports physical performance:

• Balance: Dopamine has many important functions and one of them is maintaining a high level of energy – including mental energy that is needed to engage in activities that require a lot of cognitive processing but also this type of energy that is utilized during physical effort. It is worth noticing that even though dopamine is a neurotransmitter itself, it can act as a precursor for other neurotransmitters – epinephrine and norepinephrine. These compounds mobilize the whole organism to intense work. With a greater amount of precursors and cofactors necessary to produce dopamine and other excitatory neurotransmitters it will be easier to get an additional boost of energy and motivation which is vital to enhance physical capacity.
• Active: The ingredients of the Activating Formula also support physical performance by increasing dopamine activity but it is not the only effect that they provide in that regard. They improve circulation of blood, facilitating the delivery of oxygen and other necessary elements to the muscles that are put under a lot of stress. Besides that, this natural composition of herbal extracts improves protein synthesis, supporting the processes that develop muscle mass. Numerous studies indicate that ingredients of this formula can reduce the feeling of tiredness. All in all, the Activating Formula does a good job at stimulating both the body and the mind.
