Mucuna Pruriens (Velvet Bean) – a tropical legume known by a multitude of common names. The seeds contain high concentrations of levodopa, a direct precursor of the neurotransmitter dopamine. It has long been used in traditional Ayurvedic Indian medicine. The velvet bean is an annual climbing vine that grows 3-18 m in height. It is indigenous to tropical regions, especially Africa, India, and the West Indies. Its flowers are white to dark purple and hang in long clusters.
As we get older, HGH levels drop, because the pituitary gland produces less as we age. This is why older people have less muscle mass. So because Mucuna Pruriens raises dopamine levels, it can also raise levels of the human growth hormone, helping maintain and build muscle mass. That on its own means that Mucuna Pruriens bodybuilding benefits are potentially significant.
