Vitamin B12 supports healthy nerves and neural cell function.*
A 2006 review of the roles of folate and Vitamin B12 and their impact on the nervous system highlighted the importance of adequate B12 levels for healthy neuronal function. [3]*
The same 2013 study mentioned above shows that Vitamin B12 is crucial for the maintenance of normal, healthy cognitive function and memory recall through one’s lifespan. [4]*
Folate
Folate, Vitamin B12 and trimethylglycine are added to Dopamine Brain Food™ to lend support to the methylation process, and to aid in the generation of S-adenosyl methionine (SAM-E).* SAM-E is an amino acid that also plays an important role in the methylation process by helping to convert norepinephrine to epinephrine for use in attention-based activities.*
L-Phenylalanine
L-Phenylalanine and L-Tyrosine are amino acid precursors to dopamine - both must be present in order for dopamine to be synthesized. L-Phenylalanine is present in many foods (such as meat and dairy), and is converted into L-Tyrosine in the body. In turn, L-Tyrosine is converted into L-Dopa, the direct precursor to dopamine.*

Tyrosine

L-Phenylalanine is present in many foods (such as meat and dairy), and is converted into L-Tyrosine in the body. In turn, L-Tyrosine is converted into L-Dopa, the direct precursor to dopamine.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 helps convert L-Dopa into dopamine and Vitamin C helps convert dopamine into norepinephrine (increasing alertness and attention).* Each of these also have important antioxidant properties that protect cells from damage during the production and metabolism of dopamine.*
Vitamin C
Vitamin C helps convert dopamine into norepinephrine (increasing alertness and attention).* Each of these also have important antioxidant properties that protect cells from damage during the production and metabolism of dopamine.*
Acetyl L-Carnitine
Acetyl-L-Carnitine is an immediate byproduct of metabolism that combines with CoA supplied by Vitamin B5 to produce Acetyl-CoA and Carnitine. At this stage in the process, this newly created Acetyl molecule is then able to join the Acetyl group of the acetylcholine molecule. Research has shown that Acetyl-L-Carnitine may also reduce mental and physical fatigue*.
Artichoke Leaf Extract
Artichoke extract contains Luteolin, a natural inhibitor of PDE4 [6,7]. PDE4 is an enzyme that breaks down cAMP molecules, messenger systems that relay signals in the brain. Studies have correlated lower levels of the enzyme PDE4 to significant increases in normal mental performance, including increased cognition [8], improved long term memory [9], increased wakefulness [10], and neuroprotection. [11,12,13]
Coleus forskohlii
Forskolin is derived from the plant Coleus forskohlii which has been widely used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine [4]. It has also has been extensively studied due to it’s ability to increase levels of intracellular cAMP molecules [5]. Combined with Luteolin from Artichoke Extract, forskolin is theorized to synergistically increase the duration of cAMP in neurons.
