What is Mucuna Pruriens and L-DOPA
Mucuna pruriens is a shrub which uses it vines as support to climb and grow. When Mucunapruriens are young
they are covered with hair which disappears as the plant gets old.The plant growswell in tropical areas of India,
West Indies and Africa. The leaves of Mucuna pruriens are of variousshapes like ovate, tripinnate and rhombus
shape.
Mucuna Pruriens Extract is anti-paralysis agitans. Through the blood-brain barrier into the braintissue, but by the
decarboxylation of dopa decarboxylase into dopamine,play a role.
L-DOPA is used to increase dopamine concentrations in the treatment of PD and DRD, since it iscapable of
crossing the protective blood-brain barrier (BBB), whereas dopamine itself cannot. Once L-DOPA has entered the
central nervous system (CNS), it is converted into dopamine by the enzymearomatic L-amino acid decarboxylase
(AADC), also known as DOPA decarboxylase (DDC).Pyridoxal phosphate (PLP; Vitamin B6) is a required cofactor
in this reaction, and may occasionallybe administered along with L-DOPA, usually in the form of pyridoxine.
Extraction Process :
Raw materials(Mucuna Pruriens) → Crushing → Extract→ Concentrate → Precipitation→ Refining → Drying → Standard production
The main difference between synthetic levodopa and natural extract levodopa:
Synthetic levodopa contains D-DOPA but natural extract levodopa does not contain, which can be tested by HPLC.
How does L-dopa work in Parkinson’s disease
Mucuna pruriens extract contains levodopa (L-dopa), which is used to treat Parkinson's disease. L-dopa is
changed to the chemical dopamine in the brain. Symptoms of Parkinson's disease occur in patients due to low
levels of dopamine in the brain. Unfortunately, most L-dopa is broken down in the body before it ever reaches the
brain unless special chemicals are used with levodopa. These chemicals are not present in Mucuna pruriens
extract. L-DOPA from mucuna pruriens has been shown to be safer and more effective for controlling Parkinson's
disease than the pharmaceutical drugs Levodopa and Carbidopa. This is because the vast array of other chemical
constituents that accompany L-DOPA in the unprocessed plant also play a role in its ability to manage Parkinson's
disease.
How does L-dopa work in hair growth
1 .Amino acids- made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen- serve as the foundation of protein. One type of
protein, keratin, makes up about 88 percent of each strand of hair on your body. Of the 23 total types of amino acids
, five of them -- arginine, cystine, cysteine, lysine and methionine -- particularly encourage healthy hair growth.
2.Methionine, cysteine and arginine support healthy hair and protect against hair loss by reducing oxidative stress
and restoring hormonal balances.
3.Several publications indicate that the amino acid arginine has an enormous effect on hair growth. As a precursor
to nitrogen oxide, it is of vital importance for hair growth. The vasodilatory effect of arginine promotes hair growth as
the nitrogen oxide generated from arginine opens the potassium channels of the cells.
