Has anyone successfully swapped madopar or sinimet for mucuna pruriens?

How did you work out dosage?

Can anyone recommend a reliable source at a constant strength in U.K.?

I took some for a few months last year to increase my Testosterone levels .

I took 1x level teaspoonful once a day which was half the recommended maximum dose.

To be honest it tasted so foul that I couldn't face taking it twice a day.

We tried taking it with yogurt ,curry, soup all sorts of foods but nothing disguised that horrible after taste.

I have to say that my T levels did increase a bit over the 3 months.

Sorry not much help really but as its a natural testosterone replacement I'd check out the online weight lifting fraternity (youtube),as its very popular with them

Mucuna works wonderfully if you get the right stuff. This website will send you the mucuna from the USA to wherever. A friend I met on this blog from England was having a severe time with RLS. She ordered the pure mucuna and that made all the difference for her.

Go here and order the pharmaceutical grade, 100% mucuna. If the mucuna has a bad taste, it's not the mucuna. It's the filler they use. This mucuna from this website below has NO TASTE. nutrivitashop.com/products/...

Thanks. Did the friend you recommended the site to, develop RLS while on another mp or did she take mp for an existing symptom?

She already had a miserable case of RLS when we chatted, and she ordered MP. She was desperate, bless her heart, and was getting no sleep like so many RLS sufferers. She is on vacation now, so I am anxious to hear back from her how she managed her sleep while away from home in unfamiliar surroundings.

Not what you're looking for?
