I'm interested in trying L-Dopa (along with B6) for purposes of its use as a dopamine precusor.
I've noticed that the dosage in OTC nutrients varies significantly. For example, it's used in some 'brain supplement' mixes, as low as 1-2mg (standardized). However, there are supplements that contain as much as 100 - 250mg (standardized) per tablet.
Can anyone tell me at what level the average person might notice the effects of taking L-Dopa, and whether there is an issue with build-up/an amount I should not be taking daily?
Could I also solicit opinions of others here, as to your experiences with L-Dopa, or opinions/feedback on whether there are better options for the intended purpose?
For example, I'm taking Tyrosine now. L-Dopa felt like it would be a more effective option of achieving the ultimate end-goal of increasing Dopamine, which is the reason for this line of thinking.
Thank you in advance!
