But this worked pretty well and gave good control of dose.

It turns black as it oxidizes and should be discarded each day.

Although the published research called for much more, I found that about 5 to 7 grams was about right. [A tablespoon?]

Now, about the amino acid therapy - I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but that's a lot of money. Amazon will sell you a pound of good quality, organic, US grown for about twenty bucks. Take enough of it and you won't need the others because a lot of them are in the mucuna just as the L-dopa is. Just sayin'.
