This past week I switch from CL to MP I also take a man to die amantadine one at 7 a.m. and one at 7 p.m. is there a supplement to replace this medication.

Thanks

As far as I am aware there is no supplement that replaces Amantadine.

Just a note that C/L and Mucuna are not equivalent. Mucuna provides only the "L" part of the C/L i.e. the levedopa. The "C" part i.e. the Carbidopa, is not provided by Mucuna.

That’s the reason one would drink green tea replace the Carbidopa. Is there any thing else that would replace it?

Grapefruit juice works to improve the absorption and effectiveness of my mucuna. It does not work for everyone though.

Should it be taking along with the Mp or before Mp
