WHAT IS MUCUNA PRURIENS?
Mucuna Pruriens (Mucuna pruriens), commonly known as Velvet Bean, is a tropical climbing plant traditionally used throughout parts of Africa and Asia.
One of its most distinctive characteristics is its natural concentration of L-DOPA, an amino-acid derivative that serves as a direct biochemical precursor to dopamine.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter involved in numerous normal functions, including motivation, reward, mood and movement.
WHY A 25:1 EXTRACT?
A 25:1 extract is significantly more concentrated than ordinary Mucuna Pruriens powder. This concentrated botanical extract provides the beneficial constituents of Velvet Bean in a convenient supplement format.
