In my city I have found Mucuna powder and I would like to know how to give my husband / day for the beginning? Do I start to reduce the amount of levodopa / carbidopa or take it along with your current dose and Mucuna? It Mucuna before meals, medication before the L / C?

Hi there, in order to use mucuna for PD it is necessary to know the LDopa content. Normally this is not known in raw mucuna powder. I have seen estimates from 5% to 15%, and no two batches will be the same.

There is a product out there which is 100% LDopa derived from mucuna, which is essentially the same as the Levadopa you are using at present. The problem with regular meds lies not with the levadopa, but with the Carbidopa.

I followed the Marti Hinz protocol called Amino Acid Therapy and have ended up with LDopa, and 5HTP taking the place of Carbidopa, and various other bits and pieces, and it seems to work ok. However it was very expensive, and took a year or so.

That said, there are folks doing it themselves with some success. If you go back through my previous contributions in this blog, you will find more information. Not sure how to do that, but I think you click on my wee face and follow the links.

Regards

llo, thanks for your help, i'm new to the community and i want to try it as soon as possible. Mucuna pruries for my husband can be relieved from shaking

It has 2 weeks since the entire body, head, arms, legs move continuously and sweat like a runner at the beginning of the LD dose and at the end of it. The dose is 4 hours and 3 times it is moving - it is exhausted by pain.

I have read many information here about Mucuna but I do not know how to start extracting, powders, tablets?

What is the 100% L-Dopa with Mucuna product and where did you order it? What dose have you started, at what time did you increase the dose, which is the maximum dose. admitted Spank me from your experience.

What is 5HTP?

Excuse my English - I'm working with google translator

Raw mucuna powder is best as opposed to extracts. The reason is that raw powder consists of other nutrients in addition to L.Dopa. The Ldopda content of raw powder is around 5 percent. start from low dose (5 grams ) three times a day and gradually increase till the most effective dose is achieved. The maximum dose per day should not be more than 30 gram 10 ×3). Preferably it should be taken on empty stomach

You can reach a point where no C/L will be needed

Hi, thank you for your answer,

Although I have read many posts about Mucuna it's hard to start alone and I urgently need the experience and the advice of the community to quickly find the good product and the dose to soothe my husband's trembling and pains because the neurologist shrugs his shoulders and can not let to happen this.

The mucus I found in my town has no information and I quit

Recommend me to ask your site and what kind of Mucuna pruries to order? -Muco powder? what is the concentration? write me exactly, please

Have you ever used Mucuna pills or dust is more effective?
