You are right. I forgot that I saw "parenteral" and did not look up the definition, but it does mean directly through the vein. Well, we hopefully have levodopa in a pump fairly soon, so I wonder if mucuna could be patented to be formulated and administered intravenously somehow as an alternative to levodopa? It would be nice to have other options if it turned out to be more beneficial and less demanding on our livers and kidneys.

Thanks for noting this!
