Horny goat weed (of which I have a dozen bottles that don't get along with PD) is a different plant but often is mixed with mucana. As I recall, the effect on my PD was enough that I ruled it out pretty quick. Not a lot of research either. Understandable. Nobody gets tenure for work with "horny goat weed".

my question is what dosage for mucuna ( 350mg 200 for $l2.95) for PD.
amantadine, neupro patches, mirapex, sinemet, stalevo all have had
little or no good or bad results except hallucinations and zero libido.
i switched hypertension and cholesterol drugs to isradipine and zocor as studies found those meds secondary good for PD.
i take 1200 mg coQ10 in ubiquinol form supposed to slow progression, and creatine 5mg. coQ10 and creatine are being studied further in clinical trialls.
some meds produced interesting hallucinations like a play or
movie in technicolor and huge casts of dancing people or parades.
perhaps coQ10 is helpful as my PD is about the same
since 2000.
my thanks to rosebud and all forum contributors for the edification and inspiration
you bring to our plight.
