Mucuna is a really great nootropic when it is correctly made into a supplement. There is some misinformation that floats around whenever it is mentioned on Reddit where people act like it is the pharmaceutical L Dopa, but it is not the same and doesn’t share the same negative effects that L Dopa has.
Yes it contains some L Dopa. The amount in a typical dose of Mucuna is way lower then the amount of pure L Dopa taken in pharmaceutical form.
Nootropics Depot and u/misteryouaresodumb PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE develop a Mucuna Pruriens product. You guys always do it right and it would be profitable and very effective.
TLDR: ND please make a Mucuna Pruriens supplement!

Does that mean it could cause cancer or something with chronic use.

It can cause damage. I am not sure if cancer is one of the things it can cause, but too many oxidative quinones from the metabolites of Mucuna pruriens and L-DOPA are not good over time. I think there are better compounds that can positively affect the dopamine system without the side effects. I would prefer to concentrate on those instead.
