[QUOTE=janetah;906725]I can't post links but there's what looks to be a thorough summary of mucuna research on examine.com - look for 'Mucuna Pruriens'

Among other things this says a rat study found that "low dose Mucuna paired with benserazide (peripheral dopa-decarboxylase inhibitor) was able to suppress symptoms associated with Parkinsons while low dose Levodopa + Benserazide was not"

Has anyone taken mucuna with benserazide?

Also, is it possible to buy mucuna ready roasted?[/QUOTE




I get great results with fava juice (juice from the pod only w/o the bean) taken together with low dose sinemet.
I was advised by an Aryuvedic doc once that Terrestris Tribulus might assist ldopa uptake in mucuna.
