Oh last thing I wanna stress....if you arent getting the desired effect of the mucuna...remember i mentioned dopa decarboxlase inhibitors earlier in the posts?...the l-dopa will be converted into dopamine both in brain and other organs/tissues...to prevent dopamine synthesis in any other place but the brain (this is all you want) you can use green tea extract (contains EGCG - a natural decarb. inhib.). Just make sure its the decaf kind...miserable effects with mass doses of caffeine (for me anyway). you take that same time as the mucuna and also add a multivitamin - take the whole lot on an empty stomach (ideally) - no proteins/food in you etc...water or mild juice to wash it down. that will force more dopamine synthesis by blocking periferal formation (wasting some of the l-dopa) of dopamine.
anyway...thats me done.
ciao man...keep in touch
