Hello UK-based healthunlockers!

Our source of 98% L-dopa in the UK (Britishsupplements.net) is out of stock. Anyone got a difference supplier that comes via UK? Would be very very much appreciated, we're doing so well on L-dopa...

Pop over to Sunny Spain, you can just buy it over the counter from any pharmacia, and have a nice holiday as a bonus.

Not sure what's happening with British Supplements as all items they sell directly seem to be out of stock and there are no items for sale in their ebay shop. Shame as their ldopa 98% pills were the only form I'd found so far that made any difference.

Did you try the blackburn supplier??

Not yet, will look into it but at first glance looks much more expensive than other suppliers

Interesting! I hear of this for the first time: how does one know it's 98% and do uk consultants prescribe it?

billyroca profile image
billyrocaโ€ข in reply toMylovedhasPd

consultants don't like it, but mainly only because it needs medical council approval for them to like it, and because they'd have to check the dosage of the powder... but that's not soo difficult. BUT PLS proceed with caution, as like most meds it doesn't suit everyone. In the US there are several practictioners that say that amino acids like 5HTP and tyrosine help to cure the PD, but they are using it in conjuction with Maccuna. And read Maldonado's book before doing anything...

I'm not sure about Blackburn distribution, their prices seem unusually high and odd that they seem to have a UK monopoly on what they claim is mannitol

I get my mannitol from them and it seems to work fine for me. I think it is not so much a monopoly as lack of demand.

A few people get theirs in plain powder form from the states, i.e. not in capsules "barlowesherbalelixirs.com/" which probably works out cheaper... but there are taxes to pay etc... if other supplies give out, maybe this one is worth a try!

But you can get 100% Mucuna Pharmaceutical grade extract from Nutrivita website: nutrivitashop.com/l-dopa-10...

Hi Iโ€™m Ernie Iโ€™m Looking to buy from these people have you ever used him

SuperMNew profile image

No. I buy the 100% pure pharmaceutical grade Mucuna from Nitrivita. Here is their link. (I have used their product for about 3 years, and it works the same every time, and no augmentation or kickback at all, unless you take too much. Then it'll come right back up.) nutrivitashop.com/l-dopa-10...

I bought this mp from the same supplier you use, it is powerful compared to the one I bought five pounds of previously. I put one scoop (the one they provide) which seems like a tsp into a small amount of green tea and bottoms up but wow ๐Ÿ˜ฒ I felt sick ๐Ÿ˜ท. Then I tried 1/2 tsp this a.m. but felt bad, not as bad though, do you recommend I cut back a little more or Wada you think since you've been using for longer. I tell what I was thrilled about ***i could hold out my right hand steady without any tremor for the first time in 3 years ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜Š

hello, my husband feels it's worth the sickness feeling, but it's not for everyone. My husband says that it's only really bad once a week... and sometimes he gets palpitations, but like you say the results are fairly amazing. Surely lower the dose and go back up again gradually. Taking 5HTP is supposed to help stop the nausea (we found this out via the Amino Acid doctors.. Marty Hinz and all that) This is all very trial and error, so please Be cautious.

Fantastic results for you! Yes, there are times I get too much in my dosage, and I get sick. I just back off a bit. I take the same amount I have taken from the beginning and I get consistent results. Hang in there. You'll find the right dosage. Hopefully you are not taking prescription meds as well??? If so, you are getting too much Dopamine.

I take Nutri Vita 100% L-Dopa powder, 1/8 tsp dose = 430mg. I weighed it out on jeweler scale. If that is too much you can try 1/12 tsp = 285mg. Iโ€™m doing 4 hrs in between doses. Working pretty good. My main symptom is tremor. Good Luck and hope this helps

Hi reedboat do you mix with green tea or anything else?

reedboat2 profile image
reedboat2โ€ข in reply toErniediaz1018

Following Sylvestrov, I'm taking Quercetin/Bromelain and also drinking green tea. The green tea extract tends to upset my stomach so I just brew the tea. I've been on M-P for nearly a year, no sinemet whatsoever. When I'm home I alternate between NutriVita 100% and Barlow's 40% extract powder, which also works well. When traveling I sometimes use Paradise Herbs capsules, 3 at a time. What I've noticed with M-P is the main thing that helps absorption is taking it on empty stomach, an hour before meals. Hope this helps.

hey there, I use the nutravita 100% l-dopa, and have found it to be very good. I supplement it with C/L. Naturally, I would like to eliminate the C (carbidopa). May I ask how much Quercetin/EGCG you require daily? I have seen sylvestrovโ€™s posts too. I am just trying to get any idea of where to start Q/EGCG dosages. Have you found the salmon oil to be helpful with absorption? Thanks!

billyrocaโ€ข in reply toTryguy

hi there

we're trying Slyvestrovs protocol with Quercetin/EGCG and Salmon Oil, without much success to be honest, the Mucuna works for about the same length with or without the extras... It works very well when it does work though...

Any other advice always appreciated. best wishes

nutri vita rocks!!! similar effects to British supplements... blackburn (UK supplier) had very little effect on my husband... he's now back to normal... hopefully for a while... although I do realise there may not be a single remedy for Parkinsons... everyone's different.

SuperMNewโ€ข in reply toErniediaz1018

Ernie, the link below to Nutrivita is for the powder extract, not capsules. Capsules take too long to work. The powder goes to work (when you take it on an empty stomach) between 15-30 minutes. If you have food on your stomach, you may very well get sick!
