Noradrenaline helps to:

Increase LH and testosterone
Enhance mood
Increase libido
Improve penile sensitivity
Speed up fat loss
Active thyroid hormone
etc

Even if your dopamine is fine, but noradrenaline is low, you can experience these symptoms.

Low dopamine

Noradrenaline is created from dopamine and if dopamine is low, noradrenaline will also be low.

The easiest way to increase noradrenaline is to increase dopamine.

To increase dopamine synthesis you want to maximize the cofactors in tyrosine hydroxylase and aromatic amino acid decarboxylase, namely BH4 (cofactor), iron and vitamin B6. Without them, no synthesis will happen.

Here are some roadblocks you might run into:

BH4 creation
- It's an anti-oxidant and gets depleted by oxidative stress
- Methylation issues will impair BH4 creation
Iron regulation
- Just because you're eating an iron-rich diet doesn't mean that the body is properly utilizing it.
Vitamin B6 activation
- Vitamin B6 needs to be activated for it to be used. Supplementing the active form doesn't always increase active B6 in the body.

Blasting dopaminergic herbs and drugs without fixing the basics won't do anything for you. And it could do more harm than good.

Low dopamine beta hydroxylase (DBH)

This enzyme converts dopamine to noradrenaline and uses copper and vitamin C as cofactors (there are 2 more cofactors which I'll discuss in the masterclass)

It's not always as simple as taking all the cofactors.

Certain bacteria can create a toxin that inhibits this enzyme. Without eradicating this bacteria, this enzyme won't work properly.

You can see if you have an overgrowth of this bacteria and its toxin on the organic acid test. Example below.
