Actually, I think that Ayurvedic use of MP is mixed with milk. As for that liver, you might want to research silymarin. Has a well researched protective action on both liver and kidneys, a high safety profile, and it calms down the microglia in the brain.

My Neuro wants me to go on Azilect, as I am early stages, and have not used RX yet. I have concerns as I have liver lesions and lung nodules, both show up in adverse effects, so will continue with Mucuna and research Azilect. I also take Co Q 10,fish oils and other supplements.
I saw somewherre not to take Mucuna with milk.
