I have been on the Hinz amino acid therapy (http://www.neurosciencemyths.com/Par...;s-disease.htm) and after numerous tests and dosage changes since April, it has finally kicked in and I can function almost normally. Balance, shuffling, tremors, etc, are no longer a problem and so far, no side effects. Hoorah!

The downside, apart from cost, is taking the 40% L-dopa Mucuna powder, 2 tsps every 3 hours for 4 doses daily plus the 5-HTP, L-Tyrosine, and L-Cysteine. In particular, the Mucuna does not seem very water soluble so I mix it in apple sauce. This is not convenient. I can't carry the sauce with me everywhere. I would like to dissolve it all in the morning and drink portions throughout the day. I know some brands claim to be water soluble but not the one employed in this protocol apparently.

My questions are, is this possible? Is Mucuna stable in solution? I notice it turns black. What does it dissolve well in?

Thanks for the help!
