Zandopa, They have long last put the sweetener on the labeling and it is concerning

[Angora12]

Hi There My last shipment of Zandopa in from India as a new label on the zandopa product which is concerning as I have been trying to find out what the sweetener is in this product now they have listed on the container that they are using saccharine!.

My husband has been on this product for over 1 year now and it seems to do well for him BUT now I know what the sweetener is I am concerned and can any one out there advice me what Mucuna Puriens is as good and what dose is equivalent to a scoop of Zandopa. Its very frustrating as you think you are winning on one front then to find that it is .4% saccharine and over a days consumption that is worrying.

Can any one give me some advice what other mucuna product is best.

My dad use to tell me "Pick your poison".

My son used Zandopa when he thought he had PD.

Blessings....

Yes and what happened ? Did he have pd. We were originally told the sweetener was sugar but now otherwise.

[enjoysalud in reply to Angora12]

By "pick your poison"....sometimes when both choices are negative you need to choose. I have no suggestions.

I DID NOT REALIZE MUCUNA HAD ARTIFICIAL SWEETNER IN IT. I AM WORKING WITH A DOCTOR WHO PRESCRIBED IT I WILL ASK HIM. IT IS A CONCERN.

[Angora12 in reply to cshamb]

Yes would love to know as i was originally told it was just sugar but now know otherwise please inform me of your answer as doctors here in NZ do not know much about it. I have tried to ask the supplier but cant get much of an answer. It says.4% saccharine on the new labels.

They recommend 1 scoop up to 7 per day so how much sweetener are u swollowing

[cshamb]

i will call my doctor this evening. He is very knowledgeable about Zandopa and a doctor of Ayurvedic medicine. Will let u know.

[cshamb in reply to cshamb]

I would like to add that I still take siminet but not quite as much.

[Angora12 in reply to cshamb]

have you managed to get a reply from your doctor about the Zandopa sweetner question

[Angora12]

Looking forward to your reply. Yes my husband took small amounts of sinemet produced by MSD but now we cant get it in NZ any more and they replaced is from the Kingston brand and it just doesn't seem to work as well and it seems to be causing problems so now the doctors have put him on madopar but that is not all that wonderful as well.

I do worry about this saccharine though.

Any way any advice will be appreciated .
