How are we different?

Completely plant-based fava bean (Vicia faba) extract with at least 5% natural L-dopa.

The fava bean is an ideal natural source of L-dopa, as it inherently contains high levels of this non-proteinogenic amino acid. In the human body, L-dopa is synthesised from the amino acid tyrosine via several steps. L-dopa can cross the blood-brain barrier and serves as the direct precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine.

We use a highly concentrated 30:1 fava bean (Vicia faba) extract, precisely standardised to at least 5% natural L-dopa. The extract is obtained from ripe, hand-harvested beans using only pure water and food-grade ethanol. Following extraction, the product is gently spray-dried to ensure the best possible preservation of its valuable phytochemicals.

For the capsule shells, we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC or pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG.

Fava Bean

The fava bean (Vicia faba) belongs to the large and diverse legume family (Fabaceae). Often referred to as the broad or field bean, it has an impressive history as one of the oldest cultivated plants known to humanity. It was prized and cultivated in the Mediterranean and Middle East millennia ago, long before other bean species reached Europe from the New World.

Ecological Sustainability: As a legume, the plant enters into a symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, allowing it to bind nitrogen directly from the air. This naturally enriches the soil and promotes resource-efficient agriculture.

Unique Source of L-Dopa: From a phytochemical perspective, the fava bean is truly unique. Its seeds are among the most abundant natural sources of L-dopa in the entire plant kingdom – the amino acid that serves as the direct precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine.
