Product Description

Mucuna Pruriens Seed Extract Main Introductions:

Mucuna pruriens is extreme itchiness it produces on contact, particularly with the young foliage and the seed pods. It has value in agricultural and horticultural use and has a range of medicinal properties. The seeds of the plant contain about 3.1-6.1% L-DOPA. One study using 36 samples of seeds found no tryptamines present.

The main component of the mucuna pruriens seed extract is L-DOPA, also known as levodopaor L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine is an amino acid that is made and used as part of the normal biology of humans, some animals and plants. Some animals and humans make it via biosynthesis from the amino acid L-tyrosine. L-DOPA is the precursor to the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine (noradrenaline),and epinephrine (adrenaline), which are collectively known as catecholamines. Furthermore, L-DOPA itself mediates neurotrophic factor release by the brain and CNS.L-DOPA can be manufactured and in its pure form is sold as a psychoactive drug with the INN levodopa; As a drug, it is used in the clinical treatment of Parkinson's disease and dopamine-responsive dystonia.
