Like anything with a powerful psychoactive effect, Mucuna is best used sporadically or situationally as needed for restorative purposes. The 2:1 rule of two weeks on one week off is a reasonable dosing schedule, although long-term usage is still considered generally safe. Like everything in life, it is about balance. Indigenous cultures worldwide consume Velvet Beans as an integral part of daily life. In Central America it is used to this day as a coffee substitute and in certain areas of Guatemala as a staple food in tribal diets. The beans are also immensely popular throughout India and Southeast Asia. In fact, nearly every tropical culture on the planet uses Mucuna Pruriens in some way, either medicinally, ornamentally or as food in daily life; however, when used as food, the Velvet Beans undergo a special process to remove much of their psychoactive compounds, as large doses can cause unwanted effects. Even without these compounds, the Velvet Beans of the Mucuna Pruriens plant are rich in amino acids, making them a useful vegetarian source of protein. Seaxual Health Enhancement Taking an L-Dopa could be the key to brighter mood, enhanced sexual health, and even increased longevity. This essential amino acid occurs naturally in some foods, plants like the Mucuna Pruriens, as well as in our bodies. L-Dopa helps create a state of mental alertness, enhanced sensitivity to stimulus, and increased ability to build lean muscle mass. What’s the right L-Dopa dose for you and how often can you take it safely? Read on to find out everything that’s currently known about this potent natural energy booster. L-Dopa supplements come in the form of Mucuna Pruriens extract, a plant-derived powder. The Mucuna Pruriens plant grows natively in the Caribbean, and some parts of India and Africa. It thrives in tropical-like conditions, growing to 15 meters high. The plant bears seeds or beans which contain the bulk of its L-Dopa, as much as 100 micrograms per seed. The best of every plant resides in its beneficial, active compounds. The interaction between these compounds is typically responsible for the plant’s favorable effects. In Mucuna pruriens, levodopa, or L-dopa, is one of these compounds. This bioactive chemical is a precursor to several neurotransmitters, including adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine. Mucuna pruriens has significant antioxidant action that works in tandem with L-dopa to promote brain health. How L-Dopa Works Once consumed, L-Dopa is converted into Dopamine. It does this when it comes into contact with DOPA. Dopamine immediately relays messages to nerve cells which govern pleasure and responses. Then it stimulates the release of additional hormonal neurotransmitters. These include epinephrine and norepinephrine, which boost metabolism and energy. Testosterone production plays a central role in libido and sexual performance for both men and women. While women produce much less testosterone than men, it is still a vital hormone for sexual interest and desire. Mucuna has been used traditionally as an aphrodisiac for both men and women. One of the scientific reasons why the herb has been so effective for this purpose is due to another hormone called prolactin. Prolactin is a hormone with reproductive, metabolic and immunoregulatory functions. It is needed in small amounts but an excess of estrogen in the body can lead to high levels. Prolactin tends to counteract testosterone in the body, thus reducing sexual interest. In fact, a common side effect that stimulate prolactin function is sexual problems in men and low libido for women. Increased dopamine from the L-dopa found in a high quality mucuna pruriens extract reduces excessive prolactin and increases testosterone in the body. Many women and men quickly notice an increase in sexual desire and performance when taking mucuna from this hormonal shift. Some men have even reported a significant decrease in the refractory period after making love when the herb is taken a few hours before. This isn’t surprising considering prolactin is heavily involved in that drowsy feeling that makes men want to go to sleep after sex. L-Dopa as memory booster Dopamine is known for coordination between mind and the body, a feeling of wellness, agility, libido and sexual arousal as well as brightening the mood. L-Dopa is known as a powerful antioxidant which functions by protecting the human organism from chronic stress and long-term negative action of free radicals which facilitate various effects of aging. L-Dopa benefits on health encompass a wide range of possibilities based on the individual, and typically include increased energy throughout the day, aiding in stimulant withdrawal, increased sleep quality in dopamine deficient individuals, and overall better perception of one’s environment. Finally, habitual intake of L-Dopa in appropriate dosage slightly increases the production of testosterone among males. This has an implication for higher efficiency of strenuous body-building or similar athletic activity. L-Dopa, acts like a precursor of dopamine, the primary neurotransmitter that governs memory, learning, memory recall, and most of it, drive and focus. It is also a metabolic factor in production of norepinephrine and epinephrine which increase metabolism and provide boost in mental performance. Insofar mood-brightening is considered.
