Mucuna

I’ve been supplementing with LDopa from NutriVita, powder. That seems to be the only thing that keeps the tremors under control. I’m also on sinemet 3 to 4 times a day. It seems to just be giving me more shakes. I also saw that another company, Banyan, has this product in both tablets and extract liquid. Has anyone tried any of these? Any recommendations?

I believe the Banyan products are much lower l-dopa concentration. How much of the nutrivita are you using per dose? Is the sinemet causing dyskinesia (giving you the shakes)?

I’m using an eighth of a teaspoon per dose. They had me take three sinemet to start with and then Four a day. I still needed to have some Mucuna to feel like the tremors were lessened. Taking the four a day made me shake a lot more so I went back to three.

I use to use Banyan, but graduated to a combo of 4 00mg NutraVita and 260 mg of Brown Barlowe , I take this 4-5 times a day.
