To all my new friends using mucuna I thought this study was interesting as well as scary! Not sure when it was written and unfortunately you have to pay for the full version which I'm assuming will identify the manufacturers studied Check it out!

"Results: HPLC-FD analysis revealed that the levodopa content of the six commercial MP products varied from 6% to 141% of individual label claims. No product contained levodopa within normal pharmacopeial limits of 90%–110% label claim. The maximum daily dose of levodopa delivered by the products varied from 14.4 to 720 mg/day. COAs were inconsistent in specifications for and verification of levodopa content."
Not sure what you're saying?
I'm saying wow commercial MP products' labels seem to be grossly inaccurate.
It sure does! I am quite curious as to who the manufactures they tested were. I guess I'm going to have to pay to find out. You can understand slight variations from crop or lot to lot but this type of Swing is a little scary. This maybe why sometimes I can get 3 hours other times 7 hours between doses
I recently saw a post (on this site) about "MucanaPruriens". Mostly questions concerning the appropriate dosage. never having heard about MPs I decided to find out what the hype was and here's the best article I found. hope it helps answer some question. it answered some of mine. In short, we'll give them a try. to be continued. medium.com/parkinsons-uk/co...
Thank you! It is a well-written article it certainly helps me better understand what I'm doing. At the moment it's a little overwhelming for me. There is one thing I can say with clarity PD sucks!!!
Good article - puts it all into proper perspective 
Everybody is different. I notice that MP makes me lower my dose of sinemet ( 3 times 50/12,5 per day) but my own dopamine seems to fluctuate as well. Sometimes I forget my medication completely and I do not even notice
I guess that's the good days and bad days they talk about?
Mucuna pruriens in Parkinson disease
Good Mucuna Source in Canada? 
Lab testing for Mucuna in UK?
