Vicia faba or fava bean - a natural source of the amino acid L-dopa.

Fava bean (Vicia faba) is a legume belonging to the pea family (Fabaceae). It is one of the oldest cultivated plants, originating in the Eastern Mediterranean and Southwest Asia. With a long history of use, it has been valued both in human and animal diets and plays an important role in sustainable agriculture.

The seeds and young shoots of the fava bean naturally contain relatively high levels of L-dopa — a precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine, which the brain relies on to regulate movement.

L-dopa acts as a precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain.

Dopamine, often referred to as the hormone of happiness, is a neurotransmitter involved in transmitting signals between the brain and other parts of the body.

In cases of dopamine deficiency, L-dopa (also known as Levodopa) is a valuable option, as it, unlike dopamine itself, can cross the blood-brain barrier and is then converted to dopamine within the brain.

Each capsule contains 105 mg of natural L-dopa and 11 mg of vitamin E.
