Hi. How are you? Just wanted to let you know that I am using 100% Mucuna powder and it's working well. I got a capsule filler from Amazon and fill the powder in the capsule and took 3 in the morning. Stopped Prolopa. Stiffness is a lot better.

This is the product I use and make capsules for easy intake . You can buy empty capsules and fillers online.

I suggest people with stiffness and rigidity must try this.

SPEAKING WITH PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

good luck

thanks I have started taking mucana capsules recently. I take one with half a sinemet x 4 times a day.

I used to take 4 sinemet a day and have really bad off times. I hope to cut it down more & increase mucan.

How many milligrams is in each capsule ?

Your post is interesting & encouraging

Hi Sammy,What size of capsules you are using and how much MP powder do you put on each capsule? Is it full?

Also, how many capsules do you take and how many times in a day?

Thank you

so this is just the Mucuna Pruriens Powder which is 4-7% L-Dopa?? confusing as they claim 100% L-Dopa which is nearly impossible and requires extraction process. Just trying to compare to other pure Mucuna Powders. thanks

i see on their website they sell extracts of 98%, 25%, 20% and the simple powder which I'm assuming is 5%ish L-Dopa and then lastly the 100% extract you're speaking of......if you took just Mucuna powder in the past and are now taking an extract you should definitely feel significantly more of an effect.

PS they just responded to me and confirmed it is a 99.6% extract FYI

00 capsule full volume = 0.9 ml*. He fills "80% full" >> 0.72 ml.

1 tsp = 5 ml. 0.72/5 = 0.14 tsp = a little more than 1/8 tsp product in each of his capsules, assuming he does not compress the powder when filling.
