Thriving in the region's sandy or loamy soil with excellent drainage, this unique variety flourishes under the warm sun and gentle winds of Rajasthan's landscape.

Mucuna Pruriens NOOTROPIC

And if left unchecked will eventually result in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinsons. L-DOPA helps to increase growth hormone levels in the brain. Boosting the production of neurons and glia cells affecting the formation of memories, and overall brain health.
