Vitakruid Mucuna pruriens 400 mg (min. 25% L-Dopa)

In addition to the quality of the extract, the dosage is of course also important. A higher dosage simply provides more active substances and therefore a greater effect. Most velvet bean supplements contain between 250 and 400 mg of extract per capsule. Research shows that these doses are too low for a sufficient effect. That is why our Mucuna pruriens contains no less than 500 mg extract per capsule, and we recommend taking up to two capsules per day; a substantiated dosage!

L-Dopa is the direct precursor of dopamine, the neurotransmitter that is released when eating meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, avocado, nuts, seeds and legumes. Furthermore, doing certain activities, such as sex or sports, can cause increased dopamine activity.

Nevertheless, dopamine is one of the most vulnerable neurotransmitters; Stress and sleep deprivation are often culprits of a disturbed balance. In addition, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, sugar and various types of drugs cause a short boost of the neurotransmitter. Reverse; in the days after stimulant use, dopamine activity drops, causing inadequate levels. Supplementation with Mucuna pruriens can therefore be of added value in various situations.

The Ayurvedic legume has various uses
You may be familiar with ashwagandha or turmeric, two well-known Ayurvedic herbs that we already have in our range. However, the Mucuna pruriens is a lesser known product of traditional Indian medicine. A shame, because the purple pods have countless uses; introduced centuries ago by Indian philosophers, endorsed by science in recent decades.

High-quality extract of at least 25% l-dopa
The velvet bean contains between 3.1 and 6.7% l-dopa, making it the richest known source of levodopa. However, you have to eat a lot of the fruit if you want to experience any effect from the l-dopa. That is why our Mucuna pruriens contains an extract in which the active substances of the velvet bean are present in high numbers.

Nevertheless, not all Mucuna pruriens extracts are of high quality. A quick look through the velvet bean offering on the Dutch market shows us that there are numerous products available with a 5%, 10% or 15% l-dopa extract. The percentage indicates what percentage of the extract actually contains levodopa. We have chosen the highest quality extract available for our Mucuna pruriens, of no less than 25%!

High dosage of 400 mg per capsule
In addition to the quality of the extract, the dosage is of course also important. A higher dosage simply provides more active substances and therefore a greater effect. Most velvet bean supplements contain between 250 and 400 mg of extract per capsule, with a low-quality percentage of l-dopa. Research shows that these doses are too low for a sufficient effect. That is why our Mucuna pruriens contains no less than 400 mg extract, with 25% l-dopa per capsule, and we recommend taking up to two capsules per day; a substantiated dosage!
