Velvet Bean Extract contains 15% L-Dopa which is the immediate precursor of Dopamine.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that promotes enjoyment and interest in life. The
120 mg. of L-DOPA (3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine) is a compound found in some
food and made from L-Tyrosine, which is an amino acid naturally occurring in the
human body. L-DOPA is converted into dopamine in the brain and body. DOPA Mucuna
provides the body with what it needs to make this important neurotransmitter.
INCREASES
MUSCLE MASS - Reduce effects of toxic environmental Xenoestrogens Over the years, many members have complained about muscle weakness and loss of muscle mass. In my opinion, this has a great deal to do with the environmental toxins that are causing increased estrogen levels and reducing the testosterone levels. Xenoestrogens are not only in plastics, but its in the hormones the farmers use to fatten up their animals for market - beef, chicken, turkey, pork. These little chemicals also do a number on the immune system in general, setting up all kinds of cancers, and a number of autoimmune disorders—fibromyalgias, chronic fatigue, thyroid problems, multiple sclerosis, prostate enlargement, and the list goes on. You can read more than you wanted to know in a book called Our Stolen Future... …a book about the health and environmental threats created by man-made chemical contaminants that intefere with hormones in humans and wildlife. Forward by Al Gore. http://www.ourstolenfuture.org/ Velvet
Bean has been well documented in its ability to increase testosterone and stimulate
growth hormone (thereby increasing muscle mass). This product, in my opinion,
can help balance the estrogen dominance and toxic effects of these environmental
pollutants. PARKINSON'S DISEASE L-Dopa is used in the treatment of Parkinson disease. Parkinson disease is believed to be related to low levels of dopamine in certain parts of the brain. When dopa is taken by mouth, it crosses through the blood-brain barrier. Once it has crossed from the bloodstream into the brain, it is converted to dopamine. The resulting increase in dopamine concentrations in the brain is thought to improve nerve conduction and to assist in lessening the movement disorders in Parkinson disease. Velvet bean is now being considered as an alternative to the pharmaceutical medication levodopa. In one case study it was given to a Parkinson's patient for 12 years instead of the pharmaceutical L-dopa medication. It was found to slow the progression of Parkinson's symptoms (such as tremors, rigidity, slurring, drooling, and balance), and to have none of the side-effects of the current pharmaceutical L-dopa. Numerous studies also have been conducted in rats and humans. In one human study, the bean powder was given to 60 patients (26 previously treated with L-dopa and 34 had never taken L-dopa). There were statistically significant reductions of Parkinson's symptoms in all study subjects. LOWERING
BLOOD SUGAR Several in vivo studies have been conducted on the blood-sugar-lowering effect of Velvet bean. These studies all validate the traditional use of the plant for diabetes. An extract of the seed dropped blood sugar levels in rats by more than 30%. At 200 mg an ethanol extract produced a 40% fall in blood glucose within one month, and a 51% reduction at four months. In other studies a decoction of the root reduced total cholesterol in rats. Velvet Bean is safe and worth a try if you are diabetic. APHRODISIAC,
ERECTILE DISFUNCTION & FERTILITY Velvet bean has a long history of traditional use in Brazil and India as an aphrodisiac. Clinical studies in India have validated that the plant does indeed have aphrodisiac activity. It also has reported with anabolic and growth hormone stimulant properties. The anabolic effect of the seed is due to its ability to increase testosterone. In 2002, a U.S. patent was filed on the use of velvet bean to stimulate the release of growth hormone in humans. Research cited in the patent indicated that the high levels of L-dopa in mucuna seed were converted to dopamine which stimulated the release of growth hormone by the pituitary gland. L-dopa and dopamine are also effective inhibitors of prolactin. Prolactin is a hormone released by the pituitary gland; increased levels are considered to cause erection failure in males. In one study, oral intake of the seeds in 56 human males was able to improve erection, duration of coitus, and post-coital satisfaction after only four weeks of treatment. The seed also has documented fertility promoting and sperm producing effects in human males (being able to improve sperm count and motility). SNAKE
AND VENOMOUS BITES The bean has shown significant in vivo antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and fever reducing activities in various clinical research with animals. Traditionally the seed has been used by indigenous peoples throughout the world for snakebite and several in vivo studies validate this traditional use. In rats, a water extract of the seed inhibited venom-induced blood and coagulation alterations, and reduced lethality of the venom. The anti-venom effect of velvet bean is thought to be due to an immune mechanism, as proteins in the seed were documented to raise antibodies against the venom. Good idea to put a bottle in the medicine cabinet if you are in an area with potential for snake bites. When
we have enough Dopamine we have . . . Feelings
of pleasure Feelings of attachment/love Sense of altruism (unselfish concern for the welfare of others) Integration of thoughts and feelings We
we have Dopamine Deficiencies . . . Anhedonia
(lack of pleasure) Lack of ability to feel love Lack of remorse about actions Distractibility Dislike of others Dopamine
is widespread in the brain as well as the rest of the nervous system. This neurotransmitter
plays a critical role in the control of movement. It has a stimulating effect
on the heart, the circulation, the rate of metabolism, and is able to mobilize
many of the body's energy reserves. It helps to modulate brain activity, control
coordination and movement, and regulate the flow of information to different areas
of the brain. A
WORD OF CAUTION - It should not be used by pregnant or lactating women
because it can lower prolactin and it increases testosterone. Should not
be used with MAO inhibitors. Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors are a class
of drugs used for depression and Parkinson's Disease. Be aware that altering
the levels of brain chemicals like dopamine and serotonin also affect many other
hormones, enzymes, and other chemicals which keep the body in balance. The long-term
impacts on healthy humans taking high levels of L-dopa are unclear and warrant
further research. It is best to proceed with caution when taking mucuna extracts
and to follow the labeled dosages. It is a powerful plant with many biological
actions that should be respected. In other words. . . the belief system of some
people taking herbals supplements of: "if some is good, more is better," does
not apply with velvet bean. Interesting Article on the Velvet Bean History in the US ROMANCING THE VELVET BEAN -- OLD FLAME OF SOUTHERN FARMERS MAY MAKE A COMEBACK http://www.ag.auburn.edu/aaes/webpress/1997/velvetbean.htm HHA
