Life Extension Dopa-Mind™, Dopamine Support Supplement, Supports Cognitive Performance, Healthy Dopamine Production, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, Vegetarian, 60 Tablets

Been taking this for 3 months now and I see an improvement in mood and clarity of mind. I do recommend this product.

I have tried a few things to get more brain energy during the day, or at least an extended period without headaches. This product works perfectly in that regard and I seem to have more motivation to go on with tasks that are highly repetitive especially when making phone calls, data entries, calculations.

I’ve been taking this product for many years.It is very effective if you take it every day.

I'm decades into treatment for PTSD/Panic Disorder/ and Major Depressive Disorder. During the past 25+ years, I've been tried on the vast majority of prescription antidepressants available, none of which has yielded any measurable benefit. Working with my doctor, I've tried a number of OTC supplements, everything from krill oil to St. John's Wort. The search for a panacea has proved to be both elusive and expensive.I can't in good conscience give four or five stars to a supplement that I've not benefited from. However, I would encourage anyone seeking relief from depression to give this a look. The product is a natural (reversible) MAO Inhibitor that works primarily on the dopaminergic system rather than serotonin or norepinephrine, the two other neurotransmitters involved in mood regulation (among other things). In brief, for some people it's dopamine, not serotonin, that's the primary issue.Prescription MAO inhibitors have many side effects and involve serious dietary restrictions and are contraindicated for certain other medications. This is less apt to cause complications, but it's worth reading up a bit before taking the plunge. This product is a very unique offering -- it's the only OTC MAO inhibitor of which I'm aware. If you've exhausted everything else out there, it might be worth considering. I should note that LEF is one of my "go to" supplement brands, and I give them high marks on a number of other products I take regularly. They also publish quite a bit of information on a variety of topics, not merely their own product propaganda.If you're struggling to find an OTC product to help with depression, I'd also recommend looking into krill oil (omega 3 fatty acids) and methylfolate (or SAM-e). The former has much science to back its benefits (even if it's not the silver bullet we're all looking for). Methylfolate is a form of folic acid that's highly bioavailable and contributes to a key metabolic process known as methylation (as does SAM-e). Without going to far afield, methylation is a physiological process that requires certain nutrients that most Americans are woefully deficient in.I'm not a clinician, and I'd suggest that anyone look further before making a decision. It's been an odyssey for me, an arduous one, and I'm merely hoping to save others the time and heartache.

Very good supplement

This is a God send. Along with Life Extension magazine, I am finally getting to understand my health problems. I've known for a year that I have h pylori. I have been treating it for a year. But the problems that I read were caused by h pylori, not only didn't go away, but got worse. Especially, the muscle and nerve problems. My adrenal hormone deficiency appears to be caused by h pylori. The fact that my skin can't make vitamin D3 is supposed to be because h pylori steals my cholesterol and uses it to protect itself. H pylori also steals the heme from iron, and causes chronic anemia. I know sweating in the sun makes me better. It did the same for my Dad. I thought D3 itself destroyed h pylori, but I find it is the degradation of D3 that kills h pylori. Now I am waithing for high humidity, so I can start sweating enough. If your skin is dry, you are not making D3. The 7-dehydrocholesterol is not there.

This bottles contents look different than the previous bottles of Dopa-Mind I have bought and used. These tablets are smaller and a different color and when I opened the bottle a cloud of powder came up. There were several broken tablets and all were covered in a powdery residue. There is no return available for this supplement through this merchant so buyer beware.

This is a very effective natural reversible MAO-B inhibitor.I tested it with 1/16 tsp of phenylethylamine (PEA) taken 1 hour afterwards. That dose does nothing normally because it's rapidly destroyed by MAO-B. Dopa-Mind fully activated it, making it's effects last for several hours.Dopa-Mind is as effective as prescription based MAO-B inhibitors. It has some mild effects of it's own, but they are pleasant, and don't last long (about 30 minutes for me). However, the MAO-B inhibition lasts about 6-12 hours.Great product. Works well. Highly recommended!
