Good. 100% raw mucuna powder. Half teaspoon for my husband plus c/l.

I am prescribed three lots of 3 x Co-careldopa 12.5mg/50mg. If I take them, my face contorts and cramps. If I take only two tablets each time, it is not enough. I have found that by replacing one tablet each time with Mucuna Extract (99% L-Dopa) + Uptake Blend from British Supplements I get the benefit without the facial cramps. The mucuna did make me feel a bit sick for the first few weeks. I took it. Stopped. Started again. And eventually got there.

…with Mucuna Extract (99% L-Dopa) + Uptake Blend from British Supplements I get the benefit without the facial cramps..

So you have replaced 50mg Levadopa from the Co-careldopa with 353.7mg of Levadopa from the Mucuna Extract (99% L-Dopa) + Uptake Blend from British Supplements.

Looks crazy to me … but all power to you as it works. But I would monitor this situation- that’s a lot of Levadopa 🌹

To be honest I have never understood what 12.5mg/50mg meant, so the 353mg never registered in my head. However, now you mention it - eek. I have been diagnosed 4.5 years and on the plus side that concoction helped me play open age Sunday football until the end of last season at the age of 56. In December I got covid, went very down hill, and have not recovered. (Icannot even kick a football now.) Maybe I need more mucuna? 😅

Now that you have understood what you have done, I will like to suggest a better long term solution.

The Mucuna Extract (99% L-Dopa) + Uptake Blend causes sickness because of the excess of Levodopa in your system. Most of that Levadopa is being metabolized outside your brain. Maybe this is why the Sunday football was such a blast. But on the other hand I am apprehensive of the long term effects of this approach.

A better approach might be make the dosage more efficient. Instead of the Mucuna Extract (99% L-Dopa) + Uptake Blend, I would substitute 250mg Citicoline.

Here is a recent post on Citicoline as aiding Levodopa dose effectiveness.

Edit: Another option is a Vitamin C and Quercetin combo, to increase Levodopa utilization.

Thanks Casey, but that feeling of sickness soon wore off, and I do not feel it at all now. Having said that, I will do some reading about your suggestion. Thank you.
