Hi there:
Just wondering, any one still here using Zandopa? Whats your experience about it and hows it react with the other drugs? Just asking this for my father, who is 83 year old and taking PD medicine since 2000 but now drugs are not working properly. The On time is now 2 hours with side effects. Anyone please share your experience about Zandopa. Thanks Khalid |

....but you gotta learn to use the "search" function.
Zandopa has been discussed several times on here. Despite what has been claimed, it is not mucuna but is ldopa. The companywhich makes it and markets it as a "natural" alternative is owned by the largest chemical manufacturer in India and it tastes like aspartame. Therefore it should ot be surprising that side effects similar to other meds develop. If you want to try real mucuna, I suggest you look at Banyan Botanicals or similar. You can order it via Amazon for about $20 per pound. -Rick
