Zapilopatle Bean

Why You Need It

• Mood & Motivation: Supports the production of dopamine, helping you feel focused and driven.
• Nervous System Support: Promotes healthy nerve signaling for better coordination.
• Hormonal Balance: Traditionally used to support healthy testosterone levels in men.
• Stress Response: Acts as an adaptogen, helping the body manage physical and mental stress.

Deep Dive

The magic of the Zapilopatle Bean lies in its high concentration of L-DOPA (Levodopa). When you consume the bean, your body converts L-DOPA into dopamine. Dopamine is crucial for everything from controlling movement to feeling pleasure and reward. By naturally boosting these levels, Zapilopatle Bean helps smooth out the 'brain fog' that many people experience. It is particularly beneficial for those dealing with lethargy or the physical stiffness that comes with aging. Unlike caffeine, which provides a jittery spike, this bean supports a sustained, balanced energy flow by nourishing the root of your energy systems.

Natural Food Sources

Zapilopatle beans are distinct because they are the primary natural source of significant L-DOPA content. While other foods support dopamine production (like bananas or almonds), they do not contain L-DOPA itself.

Supplementation

Because the raw bean has a short shelf life and can be difficult to prepare, most people opt for a standardized extract.

• Dosage: A standard therapeutic dose ranges from 250mg to 500mg of standardized extract (containing 10-15% L-DOPA).
• Timing: Best taken in the morning or early afternoon to support daytime energy and mood.
• Who Should Take It: Individuals looking for natural cognitive support, those experiencing low energy levels, or fitness enthusiasts seeking natural hormonal support.
