Mucuna herb - Nervine tonic
Mucuna herb has been reported to be a very effective nervine tonic and a mild aphrodisiac. Studies have demonstrated its usefulness in maintaining optimum performance of the nervous system. Mucuna has been reported to assist in normal nerve cell function. It contains active constituents alkaloids mucanine, pruridine, tannic acid, resin, lecithin and L-dopa.
Mucuna Pruriens may have advantages in the long-term management of Parkinson's disease (PD), according to the results of a double-blind, randomized trial published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, & Psychiatry. In a crossover-design trial, eight Parkinson's disease patients were challenged with single doses of 200/50 mg L-dopa/carbidopa (LD/CD), and 15 and 30 g of mucuna preparation in randomized order at weekly intervals. At baseline, patients had a short-duration L-dopa response and on period dyskinesias. Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale and tapping speed were measured at baseline and repeatedly during the four hours after drug ingestion.
Onset of effect was considerably faster with the 30-g mucuna preparation than with standard LD/CD (34.6 vs 68.5 minutes; P = .021), reflected in shorter latencies to peak L-dopa plasma concentrations. Compared with LD/CD, mean on time with 30-g mucuna was 21.9% (37 minutes) longer (P = .021), peak L-dopa plasma concentrations were 110% higher, and the area under the plasma concentration vs time curve was 165.3% larger (P = .012). There were no significant differences between treatments in tolerability or in dyskinesias on the modified AIMS and Goetz scales.
