Switching to L-dopa from macuna, from cardopa/levadopa.
Trial on myself, I was trying Barlows 40% Pure l-dopa, worked good and now using 100%pure l-dopa from NutriVita which is very potent, I use just a pinch of the powder in water, it only last for 2 hours, and using Quercetin/ Bromelain I was hoping it would help to lengthen the l-dopa but I really don't

Does Magnesium, especially L-Threonate cancels out levadopa effect?
Hi, My PD friend has leg / foot cramp and I suggested Magnesium, but she said it cancels out
levodopa
(c/l). Any suggestion please? Thanks.

Help with Amantadine
levodopa
). and prescribed adding Amantadine 5ml to my meds. Almost immediately my balance was greatly improved but I am experiencing several of the side effects the worse being embarrassing severe slurring and vision problems. The neurologist doesn’t seem to have an answer for what to do next.

Levodopa and CYP3A4, but probably not Grapefruit juice... The next steps
Proving that CYP3A4 is involved may explain why some patients respond poorly to
levodopa
, whereas others are oversensitive. 4) Proving that CYP3A4 inhibits
levodopa
, could lead the way to effective therapy using herbal-based
levodopa
in countries where prescription meds are too expensive for most people

What matters is that the efforts we’ve made have helped to prevent decline and the biggest news is that hubby’s gait has actually improved thanks to
Levodopa
! Now... I know this could all be temporary and things can change on a dime. This is called The Setup.

Better L-Dopa delivery?
Hello all! I read this about the paradise brand capsules in terms of how to deliver that although bit better: “this product is very effective, but note what they don't tell you, is that in order for the brain to make it into the enzyme that utilizes L-dopa you require an activator like Green Tea or

Vitamin B (Thiamine)
My legs and limb are wobbling while walking but i feel improvement in my balance after taking
levodopa
/carbidopa/Entacapone (100/25/400)/day and Q10, 200 mg/ day. Does B1 helping strengthening wobbliness? is it ok to use B-complex or just B1 (thiamine)?

Cause of dyskinesia? Parkinsons or carbilev? Advice about amantadine?
I haven't tried it yet but I think to give up
levodopa
. My shaking is getting unbearably worse.
Levodopa
doesn't seem to do anything except make me uncomfortable. Dr Costantini advised me to get more
levodopa
and I did try that but I jerked so badly I had to stop.

A bioproduct rich in L-dopa
Has anyone had experience with Symprove probiotic or Atremoplus, we know a PWP taking the latter and is having great results, also very good reviews on livebetterwith parkinsons.com. My hubby would really like to try one or the other, the cost is very expensive, which we don't mind if it would help

C/L CR with food?
But I also see this: https://www.rxlist.com/sinemet-cr-drug.htm "The extent of availability and peak concentrations of
levodopa
after a single dose of SINEMET CR 50200 increased by about 50% and 25%, respectively, when administered with food."

Homocysteine: friend or foe?
Those who are canny will recognize that homocysteine levels can be elevated by taking
levodopa
, and this may lead to unwanted health side effects. (There are things you can do to mitigate this.) However, does mean that homocysteine is just bad? Maybe not.

Grapefruit juice is more than a CYP3A4 inhibitor
Just found this timely article all about Grapefruit for Parkinson's, except effects on
levodopa
, 'cos it hasn't been tested. Conclusion : it's good for your brain, but could be dangerous, so if in doubt, don't drink it. https://www.salubrainous.com/grapefruit-for-parkinsons/

More pieces to the puzzle about getting a more stable supply of levodopa to the brain
The results confirm that CYP3A4 powerfully inhibits
levodopa
and may be more important in its action than DDC, the enzyme that is inhibited by Carbidopa.
