Deprenyl for Long Life and Increased Drive

Lack of energy, lower drive, decreased motivation, frequent forgetfulness, loss of interest in day to day activities, lethargy, and difficulty to focus and understand things are common complaints of our modern day generation. The main cause of this kind of early or premature mental decline or disorders is the stress filled environment of today.

Every second person you come across is suffering from one or other kind of stress related disorder or condition such as depression, body pains, lack of interest, dementia etc. It has been found that mental stress if not handled properly or taken care of can reduce the overall life span of an individual by as much as 40 to 60%. It thus becomes highly important to take mental stress seriously and seek immediate treatment for depression and other kinds of mental decline disorders.

While, it is easy to put the cause of depression among today's generation on environmental causes, there are intrinsic factors as well that cause depression and stress in individuals especially among the elderly or middle age adults. Dopamine is an important brain chemical, which is responsible for mood, emotion and communication among the different cells and tissues of the entire brain and body.

After reaching the age of 40 years, dopamine levels in the brain begin to declines. While, this is normal, the trouble comes when these dopamine levels start falling at a very rapid rate. A progressive decline in dopamine levels in the brain can cause serious mental and physical decline in the form of Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, depression and dementia. As deprenyl is a medicine that has been found to increase these dopamine levels in the brain, deprenyl can prove to be a highly effective medicine for these kinds of conditions.

Deprenyl works by inhibiting the function of MAO-B inhibitors, which have been known to break down dopamine cells in the brain and body, thus reducing the levels of dopamine in the brain and body. As dopamine levels are also associated with mood and energy, by increasing dopamine levels, deprenyl can act as an effective anti depressant  as well.

Being a nootropic medicine, deprenyl side effects are none, which makes deprenyl a wonderful dietary supplement, a mind power medicine, an anti depressant and a life extension medicine all at the same time.
