Default ol'cs: pls substanciate

quote "This dopamine outside the brain is worse than useless, it does not have the same effect as dopamine in the correct amount in the right brain compartments. Instead, it acts directly on muscle tissue, causing exacerbated movement disorder effects, ie., dyskinesias"
I am very concerned about this because I am taking mucuna. I have followed up most of the research and documents on mucuna and this is first time I read that l-dopa outside the brain has effects on the muscles , ie dyskinesias.
Is this your own opinion ? can you pls substanciate?
I grant you that that the l-dopa of the mucuna which reaches the brain may eventually cause dyskinesias.
thank you
