AVELOR SUMMARY
for primary monograph. Contains L-DOPA (3-6%) — a direct dopamine precursor. More relevant for Parkinson's than as a 'testosterone booster.' A 2004 Indian study found 5g/day powder improved sperm quality AND raised testosterone by 38% in infertile men. The L-DOPA content requires medical supervision — uncontrolled dopamine elevation causes nausea, psychiatric symptoms, and interacts with MAOIs and antipsychotics.
