Mucuna Pruriens 

Mucuna Pruriens provides a neurotransmitter pre-cursor called L-Dopa. L-Dopa is the amino acid compound from which your body makes Dopamine. As a regular part of the diet, Mucuna Pruriens provides many benefits. Among the long list are: enhancing libido and sexual capacity, optimizing testosterone production and improved mood and energy.

Mucuna Pruriens common names include Velvet Bean, Cow-Itch (because the red hairs on the outside of the pods can cause a cow's tongue to itch) and Buffalo Bean. It is a vine that grows up to 50 feet or more.

The best Mucuna Pruriens is made from the beans only. The research studies proving the health benefits were done using the beans. Many products also contain pod and root, so you have to read the fine print.

Mucuna Pruriens Bioactive Compounds Include: mucunadine, mucunine, mucunainine, prurienine, purienidine. In addition, Mucuna Pruriens contains Beta-sitosterol, glutathione, lecithin, venolic acid and gallic acid.

Make SURE you get organic Mucuna Pruriens bean powder that has not been irradiated!

Mucuna Pruriens to Boost Testosterone and Libido in Men and Women

Among plants, Mucuna Pruriens has unique aphrodisiac power and boosts Testosterone and libido.

Mucuna Pruriens contains 40 milligrams of L-Dopa per gram (1000 milligrams) of the bean. Of all plants, it is a top source of L-Dopa (dihydroxy-phenylalanine). L-Dopa an amino acid that is the immediate precursor to Dopamine.

**Human clinical trials have shown that the administration of Mucuna Pruriens to Parkinsons patients (who are deficient in Dopamine) to yield excellent benefits, which proves the potency of the L-Dopa in the beans of this plant. (1)

L-Dopa crosses your blood-brain barrier and is converted into Dopamine. Dopamine disables prolactin, an arch-enemy of Testosterone in your body - preserving the availability of this precious hormone. Testosterone is vital for libido, potency, sexual performance and orgasmic response in both men and women.

Aphrodisiac Benefits of L-Dopa in Mucuna Pruriens:

Optimized production of testosterone

Enhanced sexual performance and libido (2)

Increased energy

Dopamine depresses prolactin, a pituitary hormone. Prolactin can interfere with healthy libido and sexual function. (It is common for drugs which stimulate prolactin release to cause impotence)!

NOTE: Mucuna Pruriens is not an impotence CURE - it has been shown to IMPROVE sexual functioning, not to restore it if it is not there. Other factors such as circulatory capacity to ensure blood flow to the penis, heavy metal toxicity, EMF (electromagnetic field) pollution (lowers testosterone) and other issues MUST be addressed.

I endeavor to provide a broad spectrum of solutions so you can discover what you personally need to achieve Peak Potency!

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 are some very effective ways to optimize Dopamine - please click below for a dopamine precursor formula of the most reliable and excellent quality!
