Mucuna powder is made from the dried seeds of the Mucuna pruriens plant, also known as the "velvet bean," a tropical legume revered in traditional medicine. To use mucuna powder, a typical dosage is around 1 to 2 teaspoons, which can be mixed into smoothies, milk, or warm water. It can also be added to protein shakes or herbal teas. Mucuna powder is often taken in the morning to help with energy and focus throughout the day.
