MUCUNA Pruriens : Dopamine Bean (15% L-Dopa)
40.00$ incl. VAT
Mucuna, also known as velvet bean, is one of the only naturally occurring (and certainly most concentrated) sources of dopamine (also called L-Dopa). L-Dopa, is a naturally occurring amino acid which transforms into Dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that ignites a feeling of joy and bliss.
Mucuna pruriens is an adaptogenic legume that has been used for hundreds, if not thousands of years, as a superfood for nutrient density, energy and mood boost. Indigenous people use to prescribe it to those who needed assistance in recovering from depression, or simply a boost.
Regular consumption of Mucuna will have a gentle balancing effect on the brain and hormonal systems associated with its powerful compounds. For this reason it is often used in cases of depression and anxiety, which may be in part related to the depletion or underperformance of these essential neurotransmitters. Mucuna is also known for supporting sexual function and aiding in fertility.

INGREDIENTS:
100% organic roasted Mucuna extract powder
SUGGESTED USE & DOSAGE:
Add Mucuna in coffee, cacao, tea, or mocktails.
It’s important you cycle on and off with Mucuna, along with most (if not all!) herbs. The recommendation is taking 1/2tsp per serving for 2-4 weeks. Stop for 1-2 weeks, and then begin again. This allows for you to analyze effects. Dopamine dependency has only been witnessed when HIGH and regular doses are taken. This is where cycling off is vital, as it avoids any kind of potential dependency. If you follow the suggested dosage, its mild and regulating.
Listen to your body intuitively and follow the dosage that resonates the most with you.
CAUTION:
Mucuna has a high L-dopa content, which can raise dopamine levels in the brain and body. Increasing dopamine levels or using L-dopa could be dangerous in some people, including those with the following conditions:
- Glaucoma (narrow-angle glaucoma), as L-dopa can increase eye blood pressure
- Heart arrhythmias
- Chronic nerve pain (neuropathy), as L-dopa may worsen it
- Stomach ulcers (now or in the past)
- Psychosis (or a psychotic disorder)
If you have any of the conditions above, avoid Mucuna pruriens supplements unless recommended by a doctor.
