Mucuna and Vitamin B6

Some health experts feel that mucuna is more effective when taken with vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) which is required for proper production and synthesis of neurotransmitters such as dopamine. However, it is important to note that mucuna pruriens benefits have been successfully achieved in the ancient Ayurvedic system without the use of B6 supplementation.

Additionally, some people believe that combining chlorella (high in B6) with mucuna allows the body to utilize the seed powder more efficiently. Mucuna powdered extracts should always include at least 15% L-dopa for maximum effectiveness.
