About our organic mucuna powder

Country of Origin: India
Botanical Name: Mucuna Pruriens
Common Name: Velvet Bean, Kapikachu, Atmagupta

Mucuna pruriens is a creeping vine that grows all over India, particularly in the tropics, and can also be found in Africa and the Caribbean. The mucuna seed is the most therapeutically prized part of the plant and makes the cream coloured, light and mild powder with a wealth of benefits.

Mucuna is a nutrient rich tonic that has been commonly used in the Indian Ayurvedic tradition for over 2,000 years as an aphrodisiac and to support proper function of the reproductive system. It has also traditionally been used when treating neurological disorders.

Mucuna is a natural source of L-DOPA and 5-HTP, both of which could act as a precursor to dopamine and serotonin production within the body. Dopamine and serotonin are the neurotransmitters responsible for reward-motivated behaviour and mood respectively (serotonin is often know as ‘the happy hormone’). As such, mucuna’s possible benefits include mood improvement, stress relief, an increase in energy levels, a boost of libido and motor skill and nervous system support.

Suggested use:

Begin by taking 1/4 teaspoon each day and if no negative reactions occur work up to 1 teaspoon 1 – 3 times daily. Mix with water, juice, yogurt, add to a smoothie, or infuse into a tea.
