Mucuna Pruriens Reviews

How to Choose the BEST to Boost Testosterone and More!

This Mucuna Pruriens review shares my personal experience, to show you how to choose the BEST whole bean powder to boost testosterone and anabolic function, improve mood and enhance libido. Do YOU want to use Mucuna Pruriens (also called Velvet Bean, Cow-Itch and Buffalo Bean)... to boost Testosterone and anabolic capacity, increase strength, build muscle and increase libido? Not all whole-bean powders from this wonderful legume are high in L-Dopa or properly processed to make sure you get the full benefit!

Here, I describe the benefits of high L-Dopa content and give you specific hints on how to know if the Mucuna Pruriens bean powder you buy is of excellent quality.

Below, also, is my unique recipe that enhances your ability to assimilate the L-Dopa contained in this wonderful legume.

Why Should This Mucuna Pruriens Review Interest YOU?

Whether you are a man or woman, younger or older, like to lift weights or not, you may benefit from Mucuna Pruriens. Including it in your dietary program can keep you physically stronger, improve mood, enhance libido and sexual response and help prevent loss of muscle mass.

This legume, also popularly known as Velvet Bean and Cow-itch, is most known for the compound, L-Dopa. While there are extracts on the market, finely ground whole bean is the safest way to go - containing a full spectrum of beneficial compounds in addition to the L-Dopa. Note: Not recommended for pregnant women.

L-Dopa Content of Mucuna Pruriens: How Much is Safe?

Mucuna Pruriens bean powder products vary widely in L-Dopa Content.

In one study, a variety of unprocessed whole ground Mucuna Pruriens samples was shown to contain between 2.18 - 6.17% (average approx. 4.18% pure L-Dopa).

Maximum tolerable daily dose of L-Dopa for a 150 lb person is approx. 1.5 grams (1500 mg).

**Assuming an average L-Dopa content of 40+ mg per gram and 4 grams bean powder to a level teaspoon, maximum dose of whole bean powder would be 7 level teaspoons at the very most, allowing for some variance in potency.

The above potency would be typical of an excellent product. Many samples have been found to contain less than 2% L-Dopa.

I personally would not take more than 5 or 6 level teaspoons of an excellent Macuna product on a daily basis. At my high dose, I average 4 - 5 teaspoons to VERY good effect!**

NOTE: When starting out, build up gradually from 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon per day!

Mucuna Pruriens L-Dopa: Testosterone Booster!

Mucuna Pruriens initially interested me because men who want to boost testosterone naturally, are among my clients.

Also, woman clients have voiced concerns about losing interest in sex have asked me about female libido enhancement. A small, but essential amount of Testosterone is fuel for the female libido as well!

Personal interest has also fueled my research, as it does with most of my products ;-)

Both men and women need testosterone. In the right amount, this wonderful hormone has a multitude of benefits:

How to Choose the BEST Quality Mucuna Pruriens Whole Bean Powder!

Photo: Left side - an inferior brand. Right side - the BEST Mucuna Pruriens bean powder.

Color: Should be cocoa brown, NOT pale tan or greyish with dark flecks.

Grind: Should be very fine, with no visible dark flecks, grittiness or impurities like ground up pieces of leaf or twig.

Smell: Rich, with a 'chocolatey' tone. NOT sharp or acrid.

Taste: Rich, full and earthy. NOT watery, bitter or acrid.

Processing: Always buy organic, NON-irradiated Mucuna powder.

NOTE: Regretfully, it has been two years since I have been able to obtain a Mucuna Pruriens powder as excellent as that which inspired this article. I personally trialled product from several of the top companies, giving each a good few months worth of use. Sadly, none measured up. Because I unequivocally refuse to have any product up on my site that does not meet my standards of excellence, Mucuna Pruriens powder is no longer among the products I would recommend to you. HOWEVER - take heart - there is a very effective ways to optimize Dopamine - Montiff Neuro-Balance - Tyrosine formula par excellence!
