Another thing
 
Has anyone using Zandopa noticed any unusual bleeding? The reason I ask is that five days ago I decided that it was well past time to floss. It had been a couple of weeks and guilt was building up. I expected some bleeding but I was startled at just how much there was. Flossed three days with only slight improvement. Skipped yesterday. Flossed about an hour ago (48 hrs since I switched back to plain mucuna) and almost no blood.

I thought that Zandopa (HP200) was made from the mucuna seeds, not the beans.

"The plant is a vigorous climber, bears purple or white flowers and has turgid S-shaped pods, which are covered by numerous stinging hairs.

Mucuna pruriens - Pods

The medicinally valuable parts are the seeds, though studies have revealed the presence of active principles in stems and leaves too.

mucuna is a legume and the seeds are what what we call beans. they look a bit like pinto beans.

Zandopa and the mystery sweetener
 
Not sure if you are still wondering about the sweetener used in Zandopa but I myself used this product and with each passing day was feeling sicker an sicker. Throwing up on a regular basis. After researching and emailing distributor this is what I was told... the sweetener is saccharin!

I have always had a sensitivity to artificial sweeteners and was disappointed to find out that they were using saccharin.

Hope this helps!!!
