Hey, now that's an idea. I know macuna is used as a 'potency enhancer' but didn't realize it was due to L-dopa. Do you have a brand or source you recommend?
I just started Adderall and am having a great response but I'd like to replenish the dopamine stores that get used up. I wonder if anyone has ever used macuna for ADD? Time to Google.
BTW, did you know that fava beans contain very high levels of dopamine? Must be the reason they were Hannibal Lecter's favorite legume ;-)
