Mucuna

Safety profile

3 studies reporting safety data2 increased-risk findings

Mucuna (Mucuna pruriens) has been associated with increased risk of mild dizziness and nausea in one clinical study, where these events were described as mild and transient. Across three studies, one reported these increased events, while two others described the supplement as generally well tolerated, with fewer adverse events or no reported dyskinesia. No serious adverse events were flagged in any study.

Caveats: Limited evidence base (3 studies); absence of reported adverse events does not establish safety. Studies may have been short-term; long-term safety is not characterized. Findings reflect specific formulations used in the trials; other forms or doses may differ.
