Dopamine is a neurotransmitter which allows the dynamic functioning of the brain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHigher levels of Dopamine have been linked with a feeling of joy and bliss as well as providing good sleep and balanced hormone function. Mucuna has a reputation for lifting mood and enhancing sexual function. It is also increasingly being described as a \"Jing Tonic\". In Oriental medicine it is known to build \"Jing\", basically the energy stored in our kidneys, known to provide us with vital energy and primordial function. Also closely related to the energy within our DNA and overall constitution. Mucuna nourishes that connection, enlivening a very deep aspect of our soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eScientific studies – \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExtensive research has demonstrated \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMucuna pruriens\u003c\/em\u003e may reduce \u003cspan id=\"1_Mucuna_pruriens_Reduces_Parkinsons_Disease_Symptoms\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eParkinson’s disease symptoms. \u003c\/span\u003eL-Dopa in \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMucuna pruriens \u003c\/i\u003eis the main active component that can reduce in the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStudies have shown how \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMucuna pruriens\u003c\/i\u003e may help with depression. We talk about serotonin and norepinephrine much more often than dopamine when it comes to depression. But scientists are starting to realize that dopamine, usually associated with motivation and feelings of reward, may play an equally important role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt’s not so much that low dopamine can trigger low mood. Rather, it's deficiency in specific parts of the brain and gut can trigger depressive symptoms. Low dopamine in the brains' emotional centers (mesolimbic) can cause the inability to feel pleasure, which is common in depression. Low dopamine in cognitive (mesocortical) areas can trigger a lack of motivation that people with depression also often suffer from. Animal studies have shown how its' dopamine-boosting action, a\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMucuna pruriens\u003c\/i\u003e extract improved mood and symptoms of depression in mice.
