What's Levodopa?
Levodopa, also called L DOPA , is an amino acid created through biosynthesis from the amino acid L Tyrosine in the human body and can also naturally made by plants and animals. L-dopa can be found in Mucuna pruriens, fava beans, members of the Mucuna family like Holtonii and Andreana and more. L-DOPA ,chemically known as 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, is the precursor to the neurotransmitters like dopamine, Norepinephrine (Noradrenaline), and Epinephrine (Adrenaline) which are collectively known as catecholamines. L-dopa has the ability to treat wide variety of diseases which most Americans usually suffer. |
