👉🏽THIS BERRY IS KNOWN AS BLACKCURRANT. ⁣It has some surprising effects on dopamine. Dopamine is a brain chemical. Think of it as the anti-laziness chemical and motivates you to reach your goal. It floods through your brain in anticipation, such as before the "best bit of your favourite song.

Key Facts

👁IMPORTANCE OF DOPAMINE:⁣⁣
The typical person with low dopamine lacks the drive/motivation to reach an intended goal. Whether that be a fitness goal, a financial goal, relationships etc. This low dopamine is accompanied by apathy and poor willpower/resilience. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
📚HOW BLACKCURRANTS HELP:⁣⁣
Phenols in blackcurrants increase the dopamine concentration in the brain via a well known mechanism of action. Blackcurrants were found to inhibit the enzyme MAO-B. MAO-B breaks down mostly dopamine. Inhibition of MAO-B may increase the dopamine concentration in the brain (Lomiwes et al., 2019). Guess what else INHIBITS MAO-B…?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
💥TAKEAWAY:⁣⁣
Blackcurrant consumption in the form of juice OR eaten raw may possess psychoactive effects. ⁣
