Researchers have devised a way to upcycle waste into the Parkinson’s disease drug L-DOPA
Associate professor Yan Ning and assistant professor Zhou Kang from NUS Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering led the team that devised a method to turn shells from prawns and crabs into L-DOPA, a common drug for treating Parkinson’s disease. A similar method can convert wood waste to proline, which

Gratitude; transitioning away from Levodopa; emulating John Pepper's Azilect program
From this forum, we've also learned that he could combine the Nutravita 100%
levodopa
with Barlow's 40% brown mucuna for the maximum effectiveness of both.

Home Test with L-Dopa?
Hey Folks, I am suspecting Parkinsons (Have the cogwheel rigidity) and I ordered some L-Dopa. Would this work without the Decarboxylase Inhibitor? If not, is there something else I can add to see if it improves symptoms? I am in lively contact with doctors and visiting one soon, but I would like answers

The Sword of Neuro degeneration Hanging Over Our Heads
The "gold standard " for treatment (
Levodopa
Carbidopa) is virtually the same now as it was FIFTY years ago. Given our inability to make truly major progress (cure or at least slowing progression), shouldn't we at least consider the possibility that the experts are wrong.

Heart racing and Mucuna
Good morning all! I was looking up reasons as to why my heart races after I take even an eighth of a teaspoon of l-dopa powder which is actually Mucuna. I usually take 3 1/8 of a teaspoon of L tyrosine powder because a lot of the times the Mucuna has a tendency to make me nauseous or vomit. I came across

99% ldopa products are not really 'mucuna'
It must contain other substances that improve the absorption of
levodopa
and metabolic efficiency, as explained below. To date, 50 substances have been identified in the powder of its seeds [2].

Plant based ALA [alpha-lipoic acid] can weaken COVID-19 infection and maybe even prevent it.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7427590/#!po=9.45946 ALA can increase human defenses against SARS-CoV-2 by increasing intracellular pH. ALA is a potent antioxidant and reduces oxidative stress and inhibits activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) and can play a vital role in the treatment

A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma!

levodopa
Has anyone who is taking entacapone noticed that
levodopa
availability increases with each successsive entacapone dose?

Maximum dose of levodopa
Can someone tell me the maximum dose of
levodopa
/madopar per ingestion? And what is the maximum dose of
levodopa
from mucuna? Or doesn't that make a difference?

Levodopa being trialled for AMD
I wonder anyone has seen the information on the Parkinson’s drug in trials for AMD that is having positive results and is ongoing.

Examine Mucuna
Supplement-wise, 5g of Mucuna Prurien powder has been used with efficacy in some human studies on Parkinson's Disease and Fertility. This dose or doses upwards of it should be a good starting point. If your supplement is standardized for L-DOPA and you are supplementing for an effect attributed to L-DOPA

Has anyone information about ND0612, a levodopa-carbidopa solution that is administered subcutaneously
Does anyone have infomations, when ND0612 will be approved EU or USA. This is one of the liquid Dopa solutions which will be the next advance in therapy. There are three or four substances in the pipeline (ABBV-951 by abbevie, Infudopa SubC™ by Dizlin ), but Nd 0612 seemed to be the first one of these

Results : Organic Acid Test (OAT) from Great Plains Laboratory.
I wanted to share the details of the results for my mother, based on Urine test . Hopefully, this will help a few on this forum. I am only indicating the High/Low items in the report. The remaining ( of the total of 77 items) were within the Ref. Range. See attached sample report from their website
