Mucuna Pruriens

Feeling down? Does stress seem to keep piling on? It may be your diet, or even your biological functions. If so, a natural supplement like mucuna pruriens may be the thing you need to overcome your mental slump.

What is Mucuna Pruriens?

Mucuna pruriens, also known as “cowhage” or “velvet bean,” is a legume that contains the amino acid L-Dopa in its seeds. L-Dopa plays a role in dopamine production in the human body. Dopamine functions like a neurotransmitter and also as a hormone, and is integral in its effects on mood and mental well-being.

Supplementing with Mucuna Pruriens

L-Dopa is made in the body from another amino acid, L-tyrosine. L-tyrosine comes from protein-rich foods. In diets lacking in protein, L-Dopa production may be limited by the supply of L-tyrosine.* In healthy adults, mucuna pruriens is used as a supplement for L-Dopa for the purpose of supporting stress, mood, and sexual function.*

Suggested Use

Purely Powders suggests one 800mg dose of our mucuna pruriens powder per day for healthy adults.

If you have a medical condition, take prescription medicines, are pregnant, or are a minor, it is important to consult a healthcare practitioner before taking mucuna pruriens.
