Hi Rick,
Just received my shipment of the potent Macuna from Herbal Powers and popped my first 250mg capsule. It's 4:30 pm here and the insert said best to take it in the morning so we'll see if I'm up all night. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.

> Wow, 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.
