10 Supplements to Increase Dopamine Receptors (How to Increase Dopamine Receptors With Supplements) (Increased D1 And D2 Receptors With Supplements)

Some of these suggestions were also mentioned in this 2015 article of mine, but I am listing them here for ease of access and convenience. 


These 10 supplements are shown to increase dopamine receptor density naturally. Each of them has their own specific set of behavioral effects and each impacts longevity to a minor degree, but has major effect on mood and motivation due to their interaction with dopamine receptors.

References are listed in parenthesis with a number.

Click the number to follow the PubMed/ResearchGate reference relevant to the supplement in question. It will send you to the specific study showing the ingredient can increase dopamine receptors in living subjects.

Also, clicking the name of the supplement will bring you to my recommended brand name and store page for that product, i.e clicking ''Uridine'' will bring you to a page where you can see prices and buy the product/s. 

1.) Uridine. (1) (2) (3)
