Mucuna Pruriens Powder: Overview
Mucuna pruriens is a tropical legume native to India, Africa and tropical Asia and widely naturalized and cultivated. Its English common names include velvet bean, Bengal velvet bean, Florida velvet bean, Mauritius velvet bean, Yokohama velvet bean, cowage, cowhage, cowitch, lacuna bean, and Lyon bean. The plant is notorious for the extreme itchiness it produces on contact, particularly with the young foliage and the seed pods. It has agricultural and horticultural value and is used in herbalism. It grows or is cultivated as fodder to enrich the soil (adding a lot of nitrogen) or for its medicinal qualities.
Uses and Benefits of Mucuna pruriens Powder
The seed extracts of Mucuna pruriens have been used for treating many dysfunctions in Tibb-e-Unani (Unani Medicine). It is also used in Ayurvedic medicine. It is a good source of L-DOPA and contains some other molecules that may aid the benefits of L-DOPA. The other psychoactives in Mucuna are dosed too low to be relevant. Mucuna Pruriens dried powder has been used with efficacy in some human studies on Parkinson's Disease and Fertility. This dose or doses upwards of it should be a good starting point.
Sperm Quality:There appears to be an increase in seminal quality and oxidative parameters following 3-month ingestion of Mucuna pruriens, which is thought to be secondary to correcting the hypothalamic-pituitary-testes axis.
Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease:Possible symptoms reduction in Parkinson's Disease related to the L-DOPA content and theorized peripheral dopamine decarboxylase inhibitor; this is notable as a L-DOPA and carbidopa combination supplement is the reference for reducing Parkinson’s Disease.
Adrenaline:The decrease in adrenaline seen in infertility is normalized with Mucuna.
Cortisol:In chronically stressed men, prolonged ingestion of Mucuna pruriens appears to be able to reduce cortisol concentrations.
Dopamine:The reduction in dopamine seen in infertility seems to be reversed with L-DOPA ingestion; theoretically L-DOPA ingestion should unilaterally increase dopamine.
Noradrenaline:The reduction in noradrenaline levels seen in infertility is normalized following Mucuna ingestion.
Seminal Motility:An increase in seminal motility is observed following Mucuna ingestion.
Testosterone:An increase in testosterone is seen in infertile men. It is unsure if this increase in testosterone occurs in fertile and otherwise healthy men.

The heavy, oily qualities of the seeds speak directly to the nervous system and lend strength to any weakened areas of the body, even enhancing the intellect. In fact, the seeds of Mucuna pruriens are considered a tonic specific to neurons. Energizing, revitalizing, and nourishing.
