I may have just miraculously discovered a powerful dopamine enhancer...

As many of you would know, I love hunting medicinal and nootropic herbs. Well, I was immediately shocked when I came across a Thai herb called "Thunbergia Laurifolia", which seems to be used to treat various conditions such as: antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiproliferative, hepatoprotective, and anti-inflammatory activities, as well as detoxifying, anti-diabetic, and non-toxic effects. But what's really interesting is that it displays potent effects on the dopamine system (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23724461). Mimicking the effects of amphetamine (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12165394) Also, potent anti-diabetic effects (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15906635). More dopamine enhancement/release, without addiction (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26817209). Powerful heavy metal protection effects (http://www.scienceasia.org/2013.39.n1/scias39_19.pdf). Other general health benefits (http://www.ifrj.upm.edu.my/23%20(03)%202016/(2).pdf). Dopamine release in nucleus accumbens... mmm mmm just like beta-alanine (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23724461) The list could go on and on... I can't wait to try this! Who's interested?!?!?

It's one we have researched a bit. We have so many cool things that we might bring out. The big issue is analytical ability. Some of the more esoteric plant extracts don't have verified methods yet. So we are a bit limited sometimes with how well we can analyze them for correct identity/active ingredients.
