i have been looking at a new supplement called l-dopa.
it is used to dump more dopamine into the body which
is used for "anti aging" and is used also as a growth
hormone or hGH alternative.i am trying to research this
as i dont want to take something that will result in
negative results.i first saw this advertised on a body
building website.in research of this l-dopa i only see
articles of this treating parkinsons disease.was wondering
if anyone had heard,tried,or seen results from this
supplement.any and all feedback is appreciated.

Pinnacle has had it out for quite a while, 3+ years. It appartently doesn't seem to do much (if anything at all) because its not a very popular supplement. If you look at all of the research done on l-dopa and the dopa bean, it looks great. Then you look at the methods, # of subjects tested, and % of positive results, and things don't look so impressive. Don't always trust what supplement companies publish. I have yet to see a supplement manufacturer not like one of their own products. Until that day, I will always be a skeptic.
