Dopamine is the source of the brain's power and energy. Symptoms, conditions, and treatments related to deficiencies in dopamine and its amino acid precursors, tyrosine and phenylalanine, are as follows:
Symptoms related to loss of brain energy
Sugar/caffeine cravings, fatigue, pallor, diarrhea, lightheadedness, decreased libido, routine-task difficulty, decreased physical activity, low mood
Conditions related to loss of brain energy
Obesity, addictions, sexual disorders, Parkinson's disease
Multi-modal treatments for increased brain energy
Natural Treatments:
A protein-rich diet is an excellent source for the amino acids the brain uses forenergy. And, when supplemented with the right nutrients, can be an excellent approach to treat the initial stages of dopamine-deficiencies:
- Sugar/Caffeine cravings: B-6, Calcium carbonate, Magnesium Oxide, Chromium, 5 hydroxytryptophan, L-carnitine, dl-Phenylalanine, L-tyrosine, L-glutamine, Rhodiola rosea
- Fatigue, decreased libido, routine task difficulty: (frequency: morning) Tyrosine, dl Phenylalanine, Rhodiola rosea, L-Methionine, Octacosanol
- Low mood: (frequency: morning and afternoon) Tyrosine, dl-Phenylalanine, Rhodiola rosea, L-Methionine, Octacosanol
- Obesity, Parkinson's: (frequency: 4 times daily) Tyrosine, dl-Phenylalanine, Rhodiola rosea, L-Methionine, Octocosanol
- Addictions: Vitamin C, Niacin, B-6, Folic Acid, B-12, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid, Calcium carbonate, Magnesium oxide, Zinc citrate, Copper gluconate, Manganese, Chromium, 5-hydroxytryptophan, dl-Phenylalanine, Lecithin, L-glutamine, L-tyrosine, Rhodiola rosea
Hormonal Treatments: (Physician should check for dosage/contraindications)
Testosterone, Estrogen, DHEA, Thyroid
Pharmaceutical Treatments: (Physician should check for dosage/contraindications)
