The best natural mood enhancer for depression?

by | BLOG, MENTAL HEALTH

Feeling depressed, demotivated, and unproductive? why not try a natural mood enhancer that evokes serendipity!

To begin to understand what this little miracle mood enhancer is and how it works we first have to understand its foundation, which is all about dopamine! Though, not to worry, this will be quick and easy to digest…no pun intended!

  • Dopamine is a neurotransmitter made by our body, our nervous system simply uses it to send messages to and from the nerve cells in our brains and throughout our body.
  • Dopamine is quite magical as it helps with how we think and execute things, though, it is especially skillful in delivering messages of how we feel, therefore, if your dopamine levels are low you’d probably feel groggy, depressed, agitated, and unproductive, but if your dopamine levels were to be well balanced you would feel like a million dollars! not only will you feel great but this feeling of newfound happiness will make you more inclined to be productive in your day!

Now, you’re probably wondering if our body makes dopamine then how and why do we get dopamine deficiency? well, the cause of dopamine deficiency is most likely a receptor blockage in the brain and this is why some people develop certain medical conditions such as depression and Parkinson’s disease. You can boost your dopamine levels by getting enough sleep, exercise, and eating protein-rich foods that contain amino acids which are building blocks for muscles and the synthesis of neurotransmitters like dopamine. However, if you’re already feeling lethargic and demotivated how will you feel motivated enough to work out or make the effort to eat well?… what could be the next best option?

“In this case, the answer is L-Dopa/ Dopa Mucuna Pruriens! a natural plant-based supplement that delivers dopamine effects

L-dopa, also known as Dopa Mucuna Pruriens is a great way to supplement and increase your dopamine levels, it crosses the blood-brain barrier to effectively boost your dopamine levels. dopamine not only affects your mood but also, fatigue, libido, and motor control, it is hugely beneficial to have your dopamine levels at a well-balanced level. Personally, I use it alongside other receptor supplements that help push its benefits further such as 5-HTP. If you feel you’ve exhausted your list of ways to enhance your dopamine levels and feel that this supplement could help it’s always best to consult your GP and do extra research on the subject beforehand, as there may be other beneficial dopamine supplements that may suit your conditions and lifestyle better. Though currently, L-dopa has enough research that shows it to be an effective low-symptomatic natural supplementation that can aid with enhancing your dopamine levels, so give it a try! A tip for purchasing supplements is to invest in supplements that come in a concentrated capsule form as it is of higher quality ingredients, though always review the manufacturer.
