The Organicsio Advantage
Our Mucuna pruriens is cultivated using precision trellis agriculture to minimize soil contact and fungal contamination. We utilize a proprietary low-temperature drying protocol to preserve the delicate Levodopa (L-DOPA) content, which is prone to oxidation. Every batch undergoes rigorous HPLC verification for L-DOPA potency and is certified free of heavy metals (Pb, As, Hg) to meet strict pharmaceutical and export safety standards.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The primary bioactive agent is L-DOPA (4-15% dry weight), a direct precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine. The profile is supported by a complex matrix of alkaloids including mucunine, mucunadine, and prurienine, alongside glutathione, lecithin, and gallic acid. This synergistic matrix enhances the bioavailability of L-DOPA across the blood-brain barrier compared to synthetic isolates.
Commercial Applications
- Neuro-Therapeutics: Natural management support for Parkinson’s disease and tremors.
- Sports Nutrition: Testosterone boosters and HGH (Human Growth Hormone) secretagogues.
- Nootropics: Dopaminergic formulations for focus, mood elevation, and motivation.
