A healthy food supplement that has a beneficial effect on mood, stress, sexual function and Parkinson's disease.
Mucuna pruriens is a creeping vine that can be found in India, the Caribbean and tropical regions of Africa. This tropical plant is also often called "velvet bean".
The seeds of the Mucuna pruriens plant are known to naturally contain levodopa, also known as L-dopa, in high concentrations of four to seven percent.
Its significant L-dopa content is the main reason why it is used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
MUCUNA PRURIENS for Parkinson's disease
Mucuna pruriens contains high levels of naturally occurring L-dopa, which is the precursor to dopamine. Dopamine is a key neurotransmitter in the brain that is needed not only for coordinating proper body movements, but also for things like learning, increasing motivation, and regulating mood.
When someone has Parkinson's disease, the nerve cells that produce dopamine in the brain slowly break down or die. So people with the disease have decreased levels of dopamine, which causes abnormal brain activity that leads to Parkinson's symptoms.
MUCUNA PRURIENS for good mood and reduction of depressive states
Dopamine deficiency has been implicated in some cases of depression. Due to the presence of L-dopa, which is the precursor of dopamine, this herbal supplement reduces feelings of anxiety and improves mood. Mukuna is known to have the ability to increase two other key neurotransmitters that affect mood - serotonin and norepinephrine.
