Mucuna Pruriens Extract 10% Organic by Botanic Healthcare

Also known as: Organic Velvet Bean Extract, Kapikacchu Seed Extract, Mucuna pruriens Seed Extract 

Botanic Healthcare’s Mucuna Pruriens Extract 10% Organic is a plant-derived ingredient produced from the seeds of Mucuna pruriens (family Fabaceae), commonly referred to as velvet bean / Kapikacchu. It is supplied as a powdered botanical extract intended for use as a bulk raw material in nutraceutical, food, and personal care manufacturing.

This ingredient is valued for its naturally occurring phytochemical profile, including L‑DOPA as a notable constituent of Mucuna pruriens seeds. In general scientific terms, L‑DOPA is the immediate biochemical precursor of dopamine; however, any finished-product claims must be determined by the brand owner in accordance with local regulations.
