Mucuna pruriens extract

Mucuna pruriens extract (CAS 90064-10-1 ), derived from the velvet bean, is a standardized botanical extract sourced primarily for its naturally occurring L-DOPA content. It functions as a bioactive ingredient in nutritional and pharmaceutical applications. In these sectors, dopamine precursor activity is the primary commercial driver for the product. In dietary supplements and nutraceuticals, it is used in capsules, tablets, and powders targeting cognitive support and mood. Motor function formulations also utilize this extract for its specific chemical properties. Sports nutrition manufacturers incorporate it into pre-workout and testosterone support blends where L-DOPA content is the key label claim. Pharmaceutical formulators use standardized grades as an active botanical ingredient in products addressing Parkinson's-related dopamine deficiency. These applications typically fall under strict clinical or regulatory frameworks. In animal feed and agricultural applications, the extract is evaluated for its amino acid profile. It is also utilized for its antioxidant activity in various livestock nutrition programs across the global market. The extract is supplied as a fine powder, typically standardized to defined L-DOPA concentrations ranging from 15% to 98% by HPLC. Food-grade and supplement-grade specifications are the most commonly available. Some suppliers offer material compliant with USP or Ph.Eur. botanical monograph requirements. Bulk supply is available in kilogram and metric ton quantities to suit both small-batch and large-scale manufacturers. Contact us for supply of Mucuna pruriens extract Request Quote
