Hi I am a new member and not sure how this conversing on line works. I raised a crop of fava beans this year for my friend with parkinsons to try. We wanted to know if this could possibly be a replacement for extracts that she has been used to taking. And, yes, she has done very well on them. We have just planted a fall crop and hope that here in TN they will grow and supply more beans for the winter. Has anyone out there used favas for dopamine supplementation? Also has anyone used bean sprouts or the leaves for this purpose? Ay input would be very helpful Thanks
