L-dopa over time increases homocysteine and apparently kills even more dopamineric neurons which is why the above additional ingredients are required. Taking raw macuna puren beans which contain less than 10% L-dopa would require huge quantities to have the same effect as 40% L-dopa. That's my understanding anyway. I suggest you talk to a Hinz protocol Dr for more accurate info.

l-dopa kills neurons? where are you getting that from?
i'd be glad to contact the HINZ doctor that you used to find out about the 40% mucana.
