Zandopa is not mucuna as it has been highly processed and seems to have aspartame in it as well. The tan powder is more the color I would expect and it would vary to brown as well. Try this test- Take a white ceramic saucer that you don't want and put a tsp of the powder on it. Then drip one drop of water on it and let it sit overnight. Good mucuna will stain it as black as can be.

As for aphrodesia, up your dose to one tbsp for a month. Most of the neighborhood's mammals and half its reptiles will be at risk.
