What it is
About Mucuna
Mucuna pruriens is a tropical bean plant, also called velvet bean. The dark seeds grow inside fuzzy pods and have been used in Ayurveda for a very long time.
The seeds naturally contain L-DOPA, a compound the body uses as a building block for dopamine. That is why mucuna often appears in formulas about mood and motivation.
In VidaCalm it belongs to the mind and mood group. Read about its neighbours bacopa and GABA to see how the group fits together.
