Quote required for this item
Velvet bean, scientifically known as Mucuna pruriens, is a tropical legume native to Africa and Asia. This climbing plant is characterized by its unique velvet-like hairs covering its pods and leaves. Velvet bean has been traditionally used for various purposes, including as a food source, animal fodder, and in traditional medicine. It is notable for containing L-DOPA (levodopa), a precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine, which has led to its use as a dietary supplement to potentially support brain health and mood regulation. However, caution is advised when using velvet bean supplements, as improper or excessive consumption can have side effects, and it should be avoided by individuals with certain medical conditions. Additionally, velvet bean has a history of traditional use for its potential aphrodisiac and anti-inflammatory properties. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advisable before incorporating velvet bean into your health regimen, especially if you have specific health concerns or are taking medications.

A standardized herbal extract is an herb extract that has one or more components present in a specific, guaranteed amount, usually expressed as a percentage. The intention behind the standardization of herbs is to guarantee that the consumer is getting a product in which the chemistry is consistent from batch to batch. Standardized extracts are usually in a base of the whole herb powder.
In most cases, ratio 4:1, 5:1, 10:1 herbal extracts are not as potent as standardized % herbal extracts, although, since concentrated, ratio extracts are usually more potent than whole herb.
Our herbal extracts are produced in GMP compliant facilities. Certificates of analysis (COA) are available for all our herbs.
