Dopamine: one of the catecholamine neurotransmitters in the brain; it is derived from tyrosine and is the precursor to norepinephrine and epinephrine; dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement; dopamine receptors mediate its action.Source: CRISP.t is derived from tyrosine and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action. Source: MeSH 2007.
Another option for artificially elevating your brainâs dopamine production would be to take a dietary supplement. Most common options include amino acid precursors like L-Tyrosine and L-Phenylalanine. These may be taken in combination with various vitamins (e.g. Vitamin B6) to prevent oxidation and increase efficacy.
