How to use Dopamine NutrientsUpdated 3 hours ago
There are days when you’re unmotivated, lazy, and just binge on junk food. Sometimes, you just want to relax and not care about anything—and take a rest from it all.
Go for it!
However, when these feelings become consistent in your life, there’s an issue. You may start to feel sad, leading to low self-esteem and obesity, because you find yourself unable to exert any self-control. Dopamine Nutrients is designed to support healthy dopamine levels. The key is knowing when you need it and when you don’t.†
Genetic Testing and My Dopamine SNPs
“I have a COMT V158M genetic variation, which reduces my ability to break down dopamine. That means I cannot take tyrosine.”
“I have a COMT V158M genetic variation, which speeds up the breakdown of dopamine. This means I need to take more tyrosine.”
It’s true that genetics account for 40-50% of your dopamine levels. While this is significant, epigenetics accounts for the majority: 50-60%.
What is epigenetics?
Epigenetics is what influences the function of your genes. It is the boss of genetic expression. Essentially, epigenetics consists of your lifestyle, the food you eat, and the environment you’re in each day.4
To put it more bluntly, you control your genetic expression through what you do each day.
If your lifestyle, diet, and environment support dopamine levels, then your dopamine levels are supported, regardless of your dopamine genetics.
If your lifestyle, diet, or environment are not supportive of dopamine levels, then it’s likely your dopamine levels are going to be low, regardless of your dopamine genetics.
While genetic testing is informative, it cannot be used to determine when you need a particular supplement. What matters most are your current signs and symptoms.
"It’s possible to experience varying dopamine levels from day to day and even at different times of the day. This is why it’s important to understand the signs and symptoms of low, healthy, and high dopamine levels."

How to Use Dopamine Nutrients:
Day 1:
The first time taking it is the most powerful, so start with a smaller amount than suggested on the bottle.
Start with 1 capsule after a protein-based breakfast. You should feel something within an hour.
If not feeling much after an hour, take the second capsule.
You should feel signs of healthy dopamine levels. Refer to the chart above.
Many individuals experience healthy dopamine levels by taking just 1-2 capsules of Dopamine Nutrients.
Some don’t.
Some people take 2 capsules of Dopamine Nutrients and don’t experience healthy dopamine levels. If this happens, it’s a sign your brain may be deficient in other nutrients necessary to support healthy dopamine levels.
