Ingredients explained
Mucuna pruriens seed extract
Mucuna pruriens seeds naturally contain L-dopa, which may support dopamine production involved in mood, motivation, and muscle control.
Caution: May interact with medications that affect dopamine or blood pressure; start cautiously to assess sensitivity such as jitteriness or nausea.
Velvet bean powder (stem)
Velvet bean plant powder provides additional plant compounds that may offer gentle nervous system support and relaxation.
Caution: Plant powders can upset the stomach in some people; take with water and reduce use if digestive discomfort occurs.
How they work together
The seed extract supplies concentrated L-dopa to support dopamine pathways linked to calm mood and neuromuscular function. The plant powder offers broader phytonutrients that may complement the focused extract for balanced nervous system support.

Label Warning: Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medication, have a medical condition, or are planning a medical procedure. Stop use and consult a healthcare practitioner if any adverse reactions occur.
Who should be cautious: People with neurological conditions or those using medications that may affect dopamine should consult a healthcare provider due to Mucuna pruriens’ L-DOPA content.

In the ancient Ayurvedic texts, Mucuna was called Atmagupta, or secret self within, possibly alluding to the seeds hidden inside the pod but perhaps also to its effect on the mind.
Research has shown that within Mucuna seeds are naturally occurring compounds that act as precursors to vital neurotransmitters responsible for pleasure, muscle movement and sleep.
Mucuna supports relaxation while promoting mood and release of physical tension.
