No mixing involved, no bad taste and easy to swallow. Plus it works. I take one capsule with one half tablet of sinemet. I purchase it through Amazon. There are other mp extracts available but I have not tried hem.

We haven't, although we did try liquid mucuna drops and didn't find those to be helpful. The other difficulty with using things like mucuna is that since they're natural, they aren't standardized, and that makes it really hard to tell what's what: for example, if you don't feel like the mucuna is working, is it a "bad" batch, or has the PD progressed and you need more for a therapeutic dose, or are you having a particularly difficult day? Hard to know.
