Hello! I realize that everyone is different, but, to hear your experience will be a great help. I’ve seen a couple of PWP in this forum WHO are in the 100% pure MP. My husband started taking the mucuna 3 months ago, he’s currently taking one Barlowe’s, 5 tsp 3.3 mucuna powder and one sinemet every 3 hrs.
Please let me hear from those who are using the 100% pure MP, how much, what are you taking it with, are you still taking PD Rx drugs?
If there was a conversation about this in the past, kindly direct me.
I look forward hearing from you. Thank you.

I take 98% and have great relief from it. I still take some minimal meds and that’s only because I’m unsure how to go about weaning myself off them. I take these first thing in the morning and then it’s MP for the rest of the day 😊
I take one quarter of a teaspoon (exactly. Get a spoon that offers this and even try smaller as you may need to build up to this). I also take an eighth of a teaspoon of matcha tea powder. I use sparkling water and stir well then down it. Gives me 4 hours being normal.
My husband has PD for over 12 yrs, he was taking2.5 sinemet every 2.5 hrs and was still not very effective. He was experiencing freezing and stiffness before each doses, nightmares, and hallucinations and dyskinesia. He started mucuna early this year, it took a while for him to figure out the right dose, with the help of our daughter who did an extensive research, he’s been feeling great, it was so worth it.
Please see my daughter’s posting “Medicine/Supplement Regime (Mucuna, etc)” - pdkid, 25 days ago. Good luck!
Hi Dedpe, DopaMax, has 100 mg of 60% extract Mucuna Pruriens (as indicated on the label of the bottle) which is equivalent to 60 mg of Levadopa per capsule.
My husband is rigid dominant, he doesn’t have tremors. The Mucuna Pruriens helps diminish his rigidity and freezings; hallucinations and nightmares are totally gone. Honestly, he is doing very well. Before the Mucuna regimen, I thought our lives are going down the hill. I am very thankful for HU Forum, we learned a lot from others who are in the same situation.
That’s great to hear. I’m learning and want to help him as he got it in young age, he is 48yrs. Both hands tremor a lot. Where do u buy Mucuna products. I can start him with lower dosage so he can start as he takes prescribed meds but seems not helping very much
How long your husband had the PD? What med is he on?
We were able to buy some DopaMax and Dopaboost in US, but, for some reason, they no longer ship to Canada. We still get Mucuna Pruriens from Sunrise Botanics. They are based here in Ontario, their Email: info@sunrisebotanics.com, their Toll Free: 1-888-612-6461 and 289-201-7887. If you order, tell them to make sure to send you the pure one without any contaminant. We bought about 3 mos ago, 2 bags of 4 lbs, the powder was mixed with some sandy, blackish thing that didnt get dissolve in liquid. We returned and they replaced them, no problem. Also, we consulates a naturopath, she advised to dissolve it in lemon juice for better absorption.
You may want to buy the book “Natural Remedies in Parkinson’s Disease” by Dr. Rafael Gonzales Maldonado. It’s available in Amazon. You will learn a lot about PD from the book.
Check out Steve’s post. I’ve also been using the same mucuna Steve uses for about 2 years now. Amazing results, sometimes feel as though Parkinson’s is disappeared 😎
