Dopamine<\/strong>\u00a0is a\u00a0neurotransmitter<\/strong>\u00a0that promotes feelings of pleasure and reward, supports memory, attention, and more.1<\/sup><\/p>

As we age, increased activity of an\u00a0enzyme<\/em>\u00a0called\u00a0monoamine oxidase B<\/strong>\u00a0(MAO-B)\u00a0degrades<\/em>\u00a0dopamine, causing levels to fall.2<\/sup><\/p>

Lower dopamine levels can contribute to\u00a0reduced motivation<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0decreased enthusiasm<\/strong>\u00a0for things that would excite most people.<\/p>

A solution is to ingest compounds that\u00a0inhibit<\/em>\u00a0the\u00a0MAO-B\u00a0<\/strong>enzyme.<\/p>

Scientists have found that components of\u00a0phellodendron<\/strong>\u00a0tree bark accomplish this in lab studies3,4<\/sup>\u00a0and have\u00a0neuroprotective<\/strong>\u00a0effects in animals.5-7<\/sup><\/p>

Preclinical research also shows that a\u00a0specific form<\/em>\u00a0of\u00a0vitamin B12<\/strong>\u00a0may protect neurons and help prevent a decline in dopamine levels.8<\/sup><\/p>

These compounds may help maintain motivation and feelings of pleasure, while reducing risk for neurodegenerative illnesses.<\/p>

What is Dopamine?<\/h3>

Dopamine<\/strong>\u00a0is often referred to as the \u201cfeel-good hormone\u201d due to its role in regulating\u00a0mood<\/strong>.1<\/sup><\/p>

The brain releases dopamine during pleasurable activities.\u00a0Low<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0dopamine levels are associated with\u00a0depression<\/strong>\u00a0and a lack of\u00a0motivation<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0pleasure<\/strong>.9<\/sup><\/p>

But the brain uses dopamine for more than\u00a0mood elevation<\/strong>.<\/p>

This neurotransmitter also influences movement, learning, cognition, and memory.10<\/sup><\/p>

Dopamine enables youthful\u00a0cognitive<\/strong>\u00a0performance and body coordination.11,12<\/sup><\/p>

Dopamine\u00a0depletion<\/em>\u00a0plays a role in certain\u00a0neuro-degenerative<\/strong>\u00a0diseases, while\u00a0increasing<\/em>\u00a0dopamine has been shown to\u00a0prolong<\/strong>\u00a0lifespan in animals<\/strong>.1,13,14<\/sup><\/p>

In a region of the brain that plays a role in cognitive and motor function, levels of\u00a0dopamine<\/strong>\u00a0decline by about\u00a013%<\/strong>\u00a0each decade after\u00a0age 45<\/strong>.15<\/sup><\/p>

This decline coincides with an\u00a0increase<\/em>\u00a0in the brain levels of\u00a0monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B)<\/strong>, an enzyme that\u00a0degrades<\/em>\u00a0neurotransmitters such as dopamine.2<\/sup><\/p>

Low dopamine levels are associated with depression, lack of motivation, and pleasure.9<\/sup>\u00a0These mood and motivational changes also may be seen with normal aging in some people.<\/p>

Rising\u00a0MAO-B<\/strong>\u00a0levels pose even more of a threat.<\/p>

MAO-B\u00a0activity is\u00a0higher<\/em>\u00a0in\u00a0dementia<\/strong>\u00a0patients than in non-impaired individuals the same age,16<\/sup>\u00a0suggesting a role in neurodegeneration.<\/p>

One reason may be that increased\u00a0MAO-B\u00a0activity results in formation of potentially damaging by-products2,17,18<\/sup>\u00a0that can contribute to neurodegenerative diseases such as\u00a0Parkinson\u2019 and\u00a0Alzheimer\u2019s Disease.<\/p>

Doctors frequently prescribe\u00a0MAO-B\u00a0inhibitors<\/strong>\u00a0such as\u00a0deprenyl<\/strong>\u00a0(also called selegiline) to stop\u00a0MAO-B\u00a0degradation of dopamine in patients with Parkinson\u2019s disease.19<\/sup><\/p>

Inhibiting<\/em>\u00a0MAO-B\u00a0activity helps\u00a0decrease<\/em>\u00a0the breakdown of dopamine and the potential harm that can be done by too much enzyme activity. This helps protect our\u00a0aging brains<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
