Hello,
> Here's the brand I found that looked good. It seems to have the highest concentration of macuna. The info was interesting. Let me know what you think.
>
> http://store.yahoo.com/herbalpowers/macunapruriens.htmlWow, that is way more potent than the stuff I've been taking, the one I have now is 15%, I think the other one is 20%. The article seems to line up with what I've read elsewhere. Thanks for the link, I'd like to place an order but I have this thing about instant gratification. I would start it on a day when you don't have much going on, the higher doses made me really sleepy, no ambien needed.
> I wouldn't be surprised if the fava bean was related to macuna, 'the velvet bean'. Favas have a velvety inner membrane. Something to keep in mind as a side dish when making dinner for someone to, ahem, get them in the mood.I'm the one with the low libido although it has improved since stopping AD's. I'll have to see if I enjoy the fava beans, good for you and make you feel good too, they must taste bad or something.
> It's an old story and supposedly true, - some researchers were testing L-dopa on elderly patients in a nursing home. The dose was a bit too high and apparently the old guys were chasing the nurses around in their wheelchairs, doing wheelies and the like! That must've been a sight. - Barbara
Ha, you made my day, definately going to have to get some herbal powers brand now.
