Mucuna pruriens - Ayurvedic Herbal dose of levodopa (L-dopa)
DESCRIPTION
Organic Mucuna pruriens, also known as Kaunch, Velvet Bean, or Kapi Kachu, is an Ayurvedic herb used in traditional remedies for centuries. Mucuna pruriens (Fabaceae) is a widely recognized herbal remedy, acknowledged by the National Institutes of Health for its numerous benefits, including managing male fertility, providing nerve support, and acting as an aphrodisiac. Dr. Axe mentions in his blog that Mucuna pruriens contains high levels of naturally occurring L-dopa, the precursor to dopamine. Dopamine is a key neurotransmitter in the brain, essential not only for coordinating proper body movements but also for vital functions such as learning, motivation, and mood regulation.
