Boost dopamine

Problem it solves

Suboptimal health habits undermine energy, performance, and longevity; this framework provides specific evidence-based practices to build a sustainable physical and mental health foundation.

Not ideal for

People with pre-existing dopamineergic conditions such as schizophrenia, psychosis, bipolar, or anxiety

Overview

Why this framework exists

The Elyroine Supplementation Framework involves taking elyroine, an amino acid precursor to L-dopa, to increase dopamine levels. Elyroine is typically taken in capsule or powder form, with a dosage range of 500-1000 milligrams, and its effects can be felt within 30-45 minutes after ingestion. However, it's essential to be aware of the potential crash in dopamine levels that may occur afterwards.
