Consider supplements

Iron, niacin, folate, and vitamin B6 are among the vitamins and minerals your body requires to create dopamine. You may struggle to produce enough dopamine to fulfill your body's demands if you are lacking in one or more of these nutrients.

You may determine whether you are deficient in any of these nutrients by blood tests. If so, you can take supplements as needed to restore your levels. In addition to healthy eating, a number of supplements have also been related to higher dopamine levels. Magnesium, vitamin D, curcumin, oregano extract, and green tea are some of these supplements. However, research is limited to animal studies, so further human research is required.
