Mucuna is a legume widely used in traditional Ayurvedic herbalism. Mucuna is known to naturally possess the direct dopamine precursor, L-Dopa. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps to maintain normal brain and nervous system function and promotes a positive mood. Unlike dopamine, L-Dopa can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and can be used by the brain to produce dopamine. This product is standardized to a minimum of 15% L-Dopa. 400 mg Mucuna Extract Nervous System Support 15% Natural L-Dopa Serving Size: 2 Vegetable Capsule Servings Per Container: 45 Amount Per Serving Velvet Bean Extract (Mucuna pruriens)*(Seed) (min. 15% L-DOPA, naturally occurring) 800 mg L-DOPA 120 mg Other Ingredients: Cellulose (capsule), Cellulose Powder, Stearic Acid (vegetable source), Magnesium Stearate (vegetable source) Take 2 capsules with a meal, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
