NOW Foods Dopa Mucuna 180 Veg Capsules

NOW® DOPA Mucuna is a standardized Mucuna pruriens extract naturally providing 15% L-Dopa.* Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that promotes enjoyment and interest in life, and L-Dopa is its immediate precursor — so DOPA Mucuna gives the body what it needs to make this important neurotransmitter.* Mucuna has been used in the traditional Ayurvedic system of India for thousands of years.* Because it directly affects dopamine, DOPA Mucuna carries specific cautions: it is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women, and anyone taking anti-Parkinson's or psychiatric medication, or with Parkinson's or a psychiatric condition, must involve their physician.*
