Velvet Bean (Mucuna Pruriens) Seed Powder
Natural Source of
L-Dopa
Mucuna Pruriens Seeds are a natural source of L-Dopa which can help improve mood, as well as boost energy and
endurance levels. L-Dopa in mucuna is a precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine. L-dopa converts into dopamine,
an important brain chemical involved in mood, movement, enhances sexual urge and interest. Traditionally Mucuna has
been used as an effective aphrodisiac to increase the libido in both men and women. Mucuna Pruriens Seed has been
used increase sexual stamina, sensation, libido, and blood vessel dilation for maximum engorgement.
L- Dopa contains natural secretagogues which may support the body's ability to stimulate the natural release of
growth hormone. The blood carries the dopamine into the brain, where it naturally increases HGH production from the
pituitary gland. The increased dopamine levels also optimize the production of other hormones, including
testosterone, leading to increased sex drive and improved sexual performance for both men and women, beneficial in
stimulating muscle growth, as well as burning fat from fat cells.
Sexual Assistant
Mucuna Pruriens can improve sexual behavior, libido, and performance. In an aphrodisiac study done at College of
Pharmaceutical Sciences, Manipal, Mucuna Pruriens when administered in a dose of 75 mg/kg body weight daily,
increased the sexual activity of male albino rats considerably by stimulating testosterone level. A ten fold
increase in the mounting frequency was observed. The research shows that sexually active animals had increased
sexual desire and improved sexual performance after 21 to 28 days. However, impotent animals did not derived any
benefits.
Another research study shows that Mucuna Pruriens heightened arousal and increased sexual activity to a moderate
extent but also sustains it for a longer time as indicated by the increase in Ejaculation Latency (control group =
194.16 vs Mucuna Pruriens group = 317.00) and decrease in Post Ejaculatory Interval (control group = 362.83 vs
Mucuna Pruriens group = 322.46). Mucuna Pruriens is shown to possess central depressant activity. The delay in
ejaculation could be due to toning down of hypersensitivity of genitals and hyperexcitation of the regulatory
centers. This study show that Mucuna Pruriens can be used to improve libido and delay premature ejaculation.
The total alkaloids from Mucuna Pruriens comprise of five alkaloids (purienine and purienidine), are found to
stimulate the secretion of testosterone to ensure greater availability to gonads. This leads to increase sperm
count and increase testes size. The testes section of the mice shows increase sperm count at the 20th day, and even
higher sperm count on the 30th day. Spermatogenesis is governed by testosterone. The alkaloids in Mucuna Pruriens
increase testosterone level in seminiferous tubules either by action on pituitary function or on leydig's cells
that store testosterone.
