Is mucuna pruriens safe?

Hesitant to take stuff that alters the brain chemicals (norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine). I believe mucuna pruriens increases dopamine levels.

Wanting to know if taking mucuna pruriens is safe. Will long term use put the brain chemicals out of balance?
 
In to read the opinions of others. Longterm safety...not as sure about. However, I've been taking it nightly for a couple weeks and the effect on my sleep has been outstanding. I would like to say that based on everything I've read (including posts on this site from some very knowledgeable people) you should use mucuna pruriens with low percentage l-dopa since some of the additional components in it are beneficial with regard to effects, tolerance, etc.
 
Yes long term use does increase dopamine levels and lowers serotonin levels. Like you mentioned the percentage matters, ie, 15 % wont cause effects like 99% does. two to three months max before taking maybe about the same time break.

l-dopa has been shown to reverse grey hair.

It work by lowering prolactin as well, as ive had blood work before and after on it and the only factor I changed was taking 99% l-dopa and prolactin lowered significantly.
 
If you're looking for libido boost I think there are better solo products out there for that but you can give that a shot and see if it works. If not I would check out BLR Viron or alphamax xt.

inhibit-e/inhibit-p/macuna is an outstanding stack for a decent price...a lot of 'BANG' for the buck...great for libido!!!

Solid recommendations. For individual ingredients to increase libido, tongkat ali and maca are solid choices, as is ashwagandha (which can also reduce anxiety, which is a good combination with increased libido). For products containing multiple ingredients, AlphaMax XT contains tongkat ali, ashwagandha, mucuna, and other nice ingredients.
 
Should be safe in short term as long as you don't have a mental or genetic predisposition or take SSRI's or certain other pharmaceuticals. The only way to really know is punching the ticket and taking the ride and hope for the best.
 
Black Maca for men, Red Maca for the ladies.
