HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Dopamite by MHP Maximum Human Performance
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Dopamite contains 4 active ingredients. Vitamin B12 supports nerve function and red blood cell formation.
Folate works alongside B12 for cell division and DNA synthesis. Copper is an essential mineral involved in energy production and collagen formation.
The product also contains DOPAMITE Dopaminergic Fat Burning Catalyst, a proprietary blend. The remaining ingredients are inactive — fillers, binders, and capsule materials like microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, and silica that help hold the tablet together.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Vitamin B12 is effective for treating B12 deficiency and certain rare genetic conditions like Imerslund-Grasbeck disease, and likely effective for cyanide poisoning. It's also possibly effective for canker sores and postherpetic neuralgia (nerve pain after shingles).
Copper is likely effective for copper deficiency, but possibly ineffective for Alzheimer's disease. For acne, chemotherapy-related anemia, and brain tumors, the evidence isn't reliable enough to rate.
The effectiveness of folate and the proprietary DOPAMITE ingredient is not detailed in our data.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Vitamin B12 is generally very well tolerated — your body excretes excess B12 in urine, so there's no established upper limit. It's considered safe at normal recommended amounts during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Allergic reactions like rash or hives are rare but possible, and may occur in people with cobalt sensitivity. A rare serious effect, hypokalemia (very low potassium levels), has been reported when B12 corrects severe anemia — symptoms would include severe weakness or irregular heartbeat.
Copper is safe in amounts found in food and standard supplements, but excess copper is toxic. It's needed in pregnancy at recommended amounts, though high-dose supplements should be avoided unless advised by your doctor.
No specific adverse effects are documented in our data for the doses typically found in supplements, though contact dermatitis from copper is rare.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take any medications, double-check before starting — especially penicillamine (Moderate severity), where you'd need to separate dosing by 2 hours; metformin (Minor); or oral contraceptives (Minor). We hold no interaction data for folate or the proprietary DOPAMITE ingredient, so those can't be ruled in or out from our records.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Dopamite may be worth considering if you're looking to support B12 and copper status or if you have a B12 deficiency. If you take metformin for diabetes, penicillamine for a joint or connective tissue condition, or birth control pills, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — the interactions are documented and manageable with timing or monitoring.
Your healthcare provider or pharmacist can help you decide if this product fits your situation.

General Statements
DOPAMINERGIC FAT BURNING CATALYST* DOPAMITE belongs to a new class of weight management aids known as dopaminergics. Frequent cravings, low energy and a sluggish metabolism may all be associated with low levels of dopamine. Dopamine is a potent neurotransmitter and the driving force of your brain's reward, pleasure and motivation system, also known as "the fat burning control center."* DOPAMITE helps catalyze fat burning by supporting maximum healthy levels of dopamine and dopamine-dependent (dopaminergic) functions, as well as the functions of the supporting neurotransmitters serotonin, epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine. All 4 play powerful roles in regulating energy, motivation, satiety (a reduction in hunger after eating) and well-being.* DOPAMITE's powerful effects are driven by a scientifically engineered blend of actives including highly standardized botanical extracts that have been carefully assessed for potency and efficacy. DOPAMITE should only be used by healthy adults who are seeking to achieve significant weight loss.*

Dopamite by MHP Maximum Human Performance Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Dopamite by MHP Maximum Human Performance has documented interactions through its vitamin B12 and copper content.
The most serious is a Moderate-severity interaction between copper and penicillamine (Cuprimine, Depen), a medication used for certain conditions like Wilson's disease and rheumatoid arthritis — copper can bind to penicillamine and reduce how much of it your body absorbs, potentially lessening its effect. If you take penicillamine, separate this product and that medication by at least 2 hours.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Vitamin B12 has a Minor interaction with metformin (Glucophage), a common diabetes medication. Long-term metformin use can lower how much B12 your digestive system absorbs, which may eventually lead to a deficiency.
Copper also has a Minor interaction with oral contraceptive drugs — birth control pills may raise copper levels in your blood, sometimes above the normal range, though the clinical significance of this isn't fully clear.
We could not check folate or the proprietary ingredient DOPAMITE Dopaminergic Fat Burning Catalyst for interactions — no data is on file for them. Altogether, these interactions span 51 individual medications.
Before starting Dopamite, run your exact medications through the checker below or talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist.

For each ingredient in Dopamite with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Copper
Penicillamine (Cuprimine, Depen)
Theoretically, taking copper with penicillamine might decrease the absorption of penicillamine; separate dosing by at least 2 hours.
Copper chelates penicillamine, which decreases its absorption and may reduce its clinical effects.
Contraceptive Drugs
Theoretically, taking copper with contraceptive drugs might increase the levels and toxic effects of copper.
A meta-analysis of clinical studies suggests that chronic use of oral contraceptives increases serum copper levels by a mean of 57 mcg/dL. In most people, this resulted in levels above the normal reference range for copper.
Vitamin B12
Metformin (Glucophage)
Metformin, a common medication used to manage type 2 diabetes, has been associated with lower vitamin B12 levels in some individuals. Prolonged use of metformin can interfere with the absorption of B12 in the digestive system, potentially leading to a deficiency in this essential vitamin.
