    What is DAWS

      Dopamine Agonist Withdrawal Syndrome: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23686524/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23686524/ A Mucuna pruriens extract can have significant levels of L-DOPA, a precursor to dopamine.

  I would not take Mucuna Pruriens. L-DOPA (the active component in Mucuna Pruriens) is well known to cause degeneration when given clinically to Parkinson’s patients who actually need it. L-DOPA becomes Dopamine, but given that the L-DOPA is distributed throughout your brain and body when you take it orally, the conversion happens in higher volumes in places in your brain where it’s not normally occurring. Dopamine metabolism produces toxic byproducts, so producing Dopamine in random places and having it break down isn’t good. There are a lot of mostly harmless supplements out there. Mucuna Pruriens isn’t one of them.

    Does it even cross the blood brain barrier?
