Hey Max: Mucuna pruriens is NOT fava. Mucuna pruriens has a bunch of common names, such as cowhage and velvet bean. Fava beans (vicia faba) are also known as broad beans; different plant. What I've been hearing is that fava is easier to reliably source. Perhaps as some verification of that, Neuroscience recently switched from mucuna to fava in its Balance D neurotransmitter support product, which I take. -Rose

I've been taking the powder form (mucuna) for the past 3 years now and still happy with the results.
Enjoy life,
