Hyperion’s Mucuna Extract is a concentrated form of the Ayurvedic herb Mucuna Pruriens also known as velvet bean, and is a natural supplement for L-Dopa.
Mucuna, also commonly known as velvet bean, is an Ayurvedic herb that has been used for centuries in India and Africa and has carried into modern medicine due to its vast range of uses. It is a legume notable for its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen in the soil, allowing farmers to use them in a crop rotation with other plants that deplete nitrogen.
These restorative properties are a reflection of what makes mucuna medicinally-revered, particularly for your brain-health and sexual vibrancy. Today, mucuna is often used in modern medicinal prescriptions to supplement and restore levels of dopamine. Mucuna achieves this with its naturally high levels of L-Dopa.
L-Dopa is an amino acid that converts into dopamine in the body.
Dopamine has an extensive list of functions, affecting movement, emotions, the experience of pleasure, memory, and functionality of the brain and nervous system.
Raised dopamine can also stimulate production of the human growth hormone, and is mucuna’s reputational link to longevity and anti-aging.
Our Mucuna is a potent, concentrated extract - not merely ground up raw herb. Through our extraction process, the active constituents are extracted from our Organic Mucuna, and then concentrated to a 10 to 1 ratio. This means that TEN pounds of whole Mucuna is concentrated down into one pound of extract. This results in far more potency, bio-availability, and efficacy in less space.
We have had a relationship with our distributor for many years, and not only know exactly where our herbs grow, but ensure the purity and potency with 3rd party lab testing. We are involved in every step of the process and proud to take the extra effort to ensure the quality so you don’t have to. Our products are grown organically, extracted purely, and secured in their respective packaging without the use of any fillers.
