Based on your body weight of kg
L-DOPA (Levodopa) is a dopamine precursor that crosses the blood-brain barrier and converts to dopamine in the brain, which increases dopamine levels, improves mood, and enhances motor function while potentially supporting cognitive performance.
How to Take L-DOPA (Levodopa)
L-DOPA is typically dosed at 100-500 mg daily (often from Mucuna pruriens standardized to 15-20% L-DOPA), commonly divided into 1-2 doses, best taken on an empty stomach with vitamin B6 to support conversion to dopamine, and cycling is recommended to prevent tolerance.
