Where is get dopa made?
get dopa is manufactured and packed in Oxford, England.
get dopa is produced in a certified FSSC 22000 (ISO 22000) facility with GMP accreditation to the highest industry standards.
What does no fillers, colourants or nasties mean?
Exactly that. We promise to only ever use high-quality ingredients in get dopa that have been selected to provide you with benefit and are easily absorbed by your brain and body. Other food supplements sometimes add colourants, lower quality & less absorbable nutrients, and fillers and binders to pack and fill a capsule.
Are your b-vitamins methylated?
They are indeed methylated. The lack of absorption of b-vitamins in their pre-methylated form is common for neurodivergents, and we developed get dopa with this in mind. Check out our product page in the nutritional information drop down for all the ingredients in the nutrient form.
Did get dopa conduct any studies to confirm the benefits of the nutrients?
The get dopa formula has been carefully created to use ingredients that have subjected to plenty of scientific research. A selection of these research papers can be found on our ingredients page.
What is get dopa?
The founder's personal journey with ADHD led to the creation of get dopa, driven by a mission to enhance brain health for the neurodiverse.
get dopa is a precision-crafted and science backed food supplement, purpose-built to nourish your brain and foster lasting cognitive wellness. It empowers memory, mood, energy, cognition, and focus.
With 16 active ingredients, including amino acids, vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and botanicals, get dopa targets brain cell repair, protection, and growth, elevates brain cellular energy, supports neurotransmitter levels, and fortifies the central nervous system.
What are amino acids, vitamins and minerals?
Essential amino acids are not synthesised in your body naturally and must be provided from dietary and nutritional supplementation. Non-essential amino acids can be naturally synthesised in the body and their levels can be supported through nutritional sources. get dopa provides both these types of amino acids that are the building blocks of proteins and essential for bodily and brain function, for example creating neurotransmitters.
Vitamins are vital for your brain and body's healthy function and must be gained from nutritional sources. The 6 B-Vitamins in get dopa are essential for brain cell health, creating new blood cells and energy metabolism. It has been shown in studies that neurodiverse individuals can benefit from additional supplementation of these B-Vitamins.
Minerals are naturally found in the body and essential nutrients needed for brain and bodily function. get dopa includes 3 essential minerals that are vital for cognitive performance and brain health. Magnesium and Zinc are both minerals shown in studies to have lower levels in groups of neurodiverse individuals.
What are probiotics and botanicals?
Probiotics are a mixture of live ‘good’ microorganisms that help to balance bacteria in the gut to promote good gut health. The connection between the brain and the gut is well documented, a healthy gut contributes to cognitive performance.
Botanicals are plant extracts that have been used in traditional medicines for their various properties to support brain health.
How often and what time of the day should I take get dopa?
Consistency is the name of the game. Routine is hard but necessary for better brain care. We have packed more high-quality ingredients into get dopa than other supplements, so have provided you with three capsules to be taken once a day. We put our get dopa next to the kettle to remember to take it each and every day.
We recommend taking all three capsules at once to help absorption. Ideally this would be with a meal – get dopa provides nutrients that help your brain regulate energy levels and will also give you a boost so taking this in the morning or during lunch works best.
