Himalaya Kapikachhu - 60 tablets with Mucuna pruriens seed extract

Himalaya Kapikachhu is a single-ingredient preparation: the tablet contains only the extract from Mucuna pruriens seeds, a leguminous plant known in Ayurvedic tradition as kapikachhu, and in English literature as velvet bean. The manufacturer declares 250 mg of this extract in one tablet, and the package contains 60 tablets. There is no herbal mixture or added vitamins and minerals. The manufacturer recommends one tablet twice a day or a portion determined with a doctor.

Ingredients

• Extract from Mucuna pruriens seeds (kapikachhu) - 250 mg in a tablet
• Excipients needed to compress the tablet
• No second herb, no added vitamins and minerals

Mucuna pruriens is a climbing leguminous plant grown in India and Africa, and its English name velvet bean comes from the dense hairs covering the pods - in the fresh plant, they are strongly irritating to the skin, although in the finished preparation, this is no longer significant, as the raw material is the seed, not the pod. This difference is worth noting also because preparations from this species can be made from different parts of the plant.

Specification

How to use

Himalaya provides one scheme on the product card, narrower than for several other items in this line:

• 1 tablet twice a day or as directed by a doctor
• Swallow the tablet whole, with water
• Most conveniently with meals, at regular times of the day
• Do not exceed the portion recommended by the manufacturer

These are not ranges - the manufacturer provides one tablet at a time, and we have recorded it here as well, instead of transferring a broader scheme from a neighboring product card. Mucuna pruriens is a raw material for which self-increasing the portion is particularly a bad idea, and discussing with a doctor or pharmacist before starting use is especially good, especially if you are taking any medications regularly. The manufacturer treats the doctor’s recommendation as superior to its own scheme.

For whom

This is a product for someone looking specifically for Mucuna pruriens in tablet form. The format solves the measuring issue: there is no powder to weigh or kitchen scale, there is a tablet and one scheme for taking. The scheme is rigid - one tablet at a time, with no choice between two portion sizes - so the rhythm of the day is set once and does not return to it. Check the allergen declaration on the package label.

The preparation is not intended for children or for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
