SCIENCE!
How your brain makes dopamine and how we help.
Illicit Elixirs believes in a functional-medicine approach to whole-body health and wellness. Functional medicine uses natural treatments such as supplements, plant-based medicine, amino acids and vitamins to help the body function in the best way possible, treating the root cause of health issues versus masking symptoms. And when your body feels and works better, it's happier.
This belief is the reason we developed DopaJoy™—a proprietary blend of functional ingredients to support Dopamine production. Dopamine is the "happy hormone" and plays an important role in your brain to regulate many body functions including memory, movement, motivation, mood, attention and more. Hmm, that sounds good… more focus, more oomph and more happy thoughts? Who doesn't want that?
There's a lot of fact-based science behind DopaJoy and how it helps support the Catecholamine Pathway, which is the process by which your brain creates dopamine from other molecules, and was developed in partnership with Functional Neurologist Dr. Chris Caffery. To make sure we support as many steps as possible along this pathway, DopaJoy is loaded with supplements, amino acids and antioxidants that each do specific things.
The result is a delicious beverage that helps you enjoy your daily dose of Happy Hedonism. Drink happy thoughts!
