is mucuna pruriens safe long term?

[Arcane]

I have been taking a preworkout consistently for the past year or so. Wasn't aware of the effects of one of the ingredients: Mucuna pruriens (Ldopa 98%) 250 mg.

Im a little concerned about the longterm effects of this. I have been taking weekends off but now I feel like dumping it all together. I dont have any side effects currently and have taken time off of it 9a month or so) and felt no withdrawals. however I do have a but of twitching in my finger and chronic tinnitus idk if this is related or if its just something im noticing now due to paranoia.

I’ve been having a little daily for a few months. No side effects, but I’ve clearly adapted to it and don’t get much out of it now and will be cycling off.

Any info on its effects long term? is it harmful?

When I looked into it the only thing I found was that you could become tolerant of and then dependent on it. So there’d be withdrawal as you came off for some, but probably nothing else.

If anything else was going to happen to you on it it’d have likely happened already.

Exactly. The biggest concern is building tolerance and dependance. I use 400mg daily and haven't had any concerns for the past year (Now Brand).
