Description
Traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine to help with:
- Reduce symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
- Improves the sperm quality of infertile men
- Reduces the onset of diabetic cataracts
- Useful as an antivenom agent in snake bites
It is thought that the anti-Parkinson’s effects of Mucuna pruriens is due to the L-DOPA content in the bean. It improves male fertility by its action on the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis. Mucuna pruriens likely exhibits its antivenom effects through an immune mechanism in which glycoproteins present in the bean stimulate antibodies to bind to venom proteins.
The antidiabetic effects of Mucuna pruriens requires more research, but current evidence suggests that the presence of a compound called D-chiro-inositol is involved.
