Rick, what size capsules did you get?
I tried Zandopa only once, a very small amount. I hated drinking it.
I found this in an old file:
Subject: Zandopa - Mucuna Beans Extract
Body: Hi Guys,
I have started using Zandopa, the Mucuna beans powder and I am getting
fantastic results. Zandopa has not been approved by the FDA in the US, but
has been approved in Canada & Europe.
The following are the benefits over Sinemet:
- The kick off time is extremely fast. Earlier with Syndopa (The Sinemet
generic) I used to take a minimum of 45 minutes and post prandial almost 1
hour. With Zandopa the kick off time is between 20 - 25 minutes and post
prandial around 35 - 40 mnts. It breaks the blood barrier faster, since
it's in a powder form and is taken mixed with water
- My dyskinesia has reduced a lot.
- The sick feeling I used to get after taking Syndopa 25/100 has
disappeared. Earlier, after taking Syndopa, I would 'freeze' for atleast
20 minutes, this does not happen now. Being a natural product, the
'chemical' afterfeel is not there.
- I was put on tablet of Syndopa 25/100, 5 times a day, I have replaced 3
of the doses with Zandopa.
- The recommended replacement dose is 2x7.5 gms for 1 syndopa 25/100. But
I find that 15 gms is too much and take just 7.5gms for one tablet.
-The only draw back is that being in powder form, taking it while I am at
work is inconvenient.
