The Mentat formula looks worth a try from what I have read (all I could get my hands on in English) but it has vacha which, according to a book I have by Vasant Lad, is restricted from internal use in the US by the FDA. That could explain the ordering problem. I have seen the Himalaya Mindcare caps mentioned at Whole Foods and also one by Banyan Botanicals online called Mental Clarity.
The book, "Ayurvedic Perspectives on Selected Pathologies" lists three types of PD and Bala and Vidari are listed in all three along with some others. If I tried one I would take the BB because for now I am avoiding macuna as it is apparently not recommended for younger patients early in the disease (based on l-dopa research not on specific research about macuna pruriens). Rick, I remember reading you took macuna, did you take it with Ashwagandha and ginger or other herbs?
