This product from NOW Foods, DOPA Mucuna, is a dietary supplement designed to support brain health and mood. It comes in a package of 180 vegetarian capsules. The key feature of this supplement is its standardized extract of Mucuna pruriens, a plant used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic medicine in India, known for its supportive properties for the nervous system.
Each serving of two (2) vegetarian capsules provides 800 mg of Mucuna Extract (Mucuna pruriens) from the seed. This extract is standardized to contain a minimum of 15% L-Dopa, which equates to 120 mg of L-Dopa per serving. L-Dopa is the direct precursor to dopamine, a crucial neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood, motivation, pleasure, and interest in life. Supplementing with L-Dopa helps the body with what it needs to make this important neurotransmitter naturally.
