Among plant extracts, Mucuna pruriens has unique aphrodisiac effects, enhances the libido, and optimizes testosterone production. L-dopa, a component of the bean, is a precursor to dopamine, a neurotransmitter. Because dopamine prevents prolactin from destroying testosterone, Mucuna pruriens, in sufficient amounts, may help to boost the levels of production. Boosting testosterone naturally increases anabolic capacity, strength, and endurance, which can also help to make it easier to build muscle as well as burning fat cells.
The tincture of Mucuna has long been used in traditional medicine for numerous disease, including Parkinson's disease. L-dopa significantly affects dopamine metabolism in the striatonigral tract. Parkinson's, or PD, is associated with progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in specific areas of the brain. Dopamine does not cross over the blood-brain barrier and therefore cannot be used directly as a treatment. L-dopa is a natural dopamine which gains access to the brain and can be a very important brain chemical for mood and movement. Mucuna beans are now considered to be useful in combination with, or as an alternative to, pharmaceutical levodopa. And helpful in reducing symptoms such as tremors, slurring, drooling and balance. The studies have also proven its virtues as a treatment for other nervous disorders.
