I have found the D5 Mucuna dissolves well in water but I usually use almond milk. Eating is tricky as eating too much without enough liquid slows the onset probably by delaying stomach emptying. I am not sure if protein affects it. I find that if I take it about a half hour before I eat and I don't eat too much, it works fine. Tyrosine is quite a bit less soluble so I blend it with the mucuna in almond milk or sometimes orange juice. Best of luck with the program. It has worked well for me.
