Mucuna Pruriens Available at Ancient Purity

Mucuna Pruriens is particularly beneficial to brain health as well. The herb’s primary compound, levadopa is a precursor to noradrenaline, adrenaline and dopamine. Whilst dopamine is by most people associated with enjoyment and pleasure, it actually plays a vital role in muscle control. L-dopa is synthesised in the brain into dopamine, and is many times used as a treatment in Parkinson’s. By raising low levels of dopamine, this master herb might have a positive effect on attention span, motivation, relaxation as well as general mental well-being.
