 Do you have issues with motivation, with focus, with cognition and even mood? Well, in this case, metropics for dopamine can help you out. But which are the best ones? Well, let's find out. Hey friends, welcome back to my channel. My name is Greg and I'm a brain hacker creating content that will help you upgrade your brain performance. And if this interests you, then subscribe below and join our amazing community. Now, as you may know, dopamine is one of the most researched neurotransmitters. There are so many studies done and so many people talk about it because of its importance. However, I'm not sure if you knew, but only 1% of our brain neurons are actually dopamine neurons. So it's very interesting to know that such a small amount of neurons can have such a big impact on our performance. Now, the biggest issue with dopamine is if your levels are too low. Luckily, to increase dopamine levels, you can eat certain types of food or take the right metropics and supplements. So in this video, I'm going to show you the best metropics for boosting dopamine levels. But just before I do that, I want to tell you why you need to take care of dopamine and what happens if your levels get too low. Now, dopamine is also called the reward chemical because it is triggered when your brain expects a reward from a specific behavior. So it basically motivates us to do a certain thing or to help us achieve a certain goal that our brain desires. So having the right levels of dopamine in our brain is very important for well-being, for cognition and focus and concentration and so on. But what happens if your dopamine levels are too low? Well, in this case, you may have issues with fatigue, with lack of motivation, with lack of focus and attention, with cravings, with impulsive behavior and even brain fog. So which metropics can help you out? Let's check them out. First of all, there are two amino acids. The first one is L-phenylalanine and the second one is L-tyrosine. And both are precursors to dopamine. So basically, when you eat the right foods that are high in L-phenylalanine, it actually just converts to L-tyrosine, which later converts to L-dopa and then your levels of dopamine increase. Now, L-tyrosine is the more researched and more popular version of the two and you can find it in many popular supplements nowadays. Now, the right dosage of L-tyrosine is about 500 milligrams to two grams per day. And you can take it in a form of L-tyrosine or NALT, which is anacetyl L-tyrosine, which may be a more bioavailable version of L-tyrosine. Now, if you want to learn more about other benefits of L-tyrosine, you can check my video up here. Now, the second natropic, or the third one, is mucuna prurience. Now, this is a special bean that has a big amount of L-dopa. So when you take this supplement, your levels of L-dopa increase and this may increase the amount of dopamine in your brain. And as a matter of fact, mucuna prurience is probably one of the best and most popular natropics for boosting dopamine levels. Then we have L-tyanine. Now, L-tyanine is a very popular amino acid that is found in tea leaves, especially in green tea, and it can boost your focus, but it can also make you more relaxed. Now, it is known that supplementing L-tyanine can increase your dopamine levels, but not just that. L-tyanine can also increase your serotonin levels, which is another neurotransmitter very important for well-being and mood. Now, the recommended daily dosage of L-tyanine is about 100 to 200 milligrams, but you can even take higher dosage if you want. Now, the next atropic is rhodiola rosea. Now, this is an adaptogenic herb that is known to reduce stress levels and anxiety, but it can also increase dopamine levels by inhibiting dopamine reuptake. The optimal daily dosage of rhodiola is about 50 to 100 milligrams, but some supplements even contain a higher dosage. You can learn more about rhodiola up here. Lastly, let's talk about choline. Choline is a building block of neurons and a very important compound, very important atropic for boosting your cognitive performance and mental health. It is also an atropic that increases dopamine levels. Now, there are many types of choline available, half a GPC, city choline and so on, and you can learn more about them up here, but instead of worrying which type of choline you are supplementing, you should focus more on taking a high quality atropic and the right dosage. And the right dosage of cognizant, which is my favorite type of choline, of CDP choline, is about 200 to 300 milligrams per day. By the way, guys, do you want to know how well does your brain functions? Go through our free brain assessment, which you can find in the description below, and you'll get your brain score. So you can also increase dopamine levels by eating the right foods, usually by eating foods that are high in protein, like tofu, like soybeans, but you can also eat eggs and different types of meat if you want. However, I prefer taking tropics and supplements because they are very effective in doing that and they provide many other benefits. Now, instead of taking all these tropics separately and buying them individually as individual compounds, I prefer taking a high quality nitropic supplement that contains multiple nitropics for dopamine. And you can find my favorite and top rated nitropics in the description below. That's it for this video, guys. Thank you for watching.
