    I hate it. Like calling a disabled person gimpy. It’s a demeaning term.

  • I tried using several different types of mucuna and felt Dizzy and sick on all of them. I even bought fava beans. The only thing that’s really helped me is Sinimet which I resisted for several months. I also purchased Neurali but it was too expensive to continue with. I think it helped me also and when I can afford it I plan to continue it’s use.

    Bened Life makes a capsule that is only lactobacillus plantarum PS128, but it is very expensive. That is the particular bacteria supposed to help symptoms. They have links to some small clinical studies on the website.

    It’s my understanding that PS128 specifically is not necessarily present in yogurt in great enough numbers to have an impact. Bened Life makes a capsule that is only PS128, but it is very expensive. I took one month’s supply and have now ordered the 3-month supply. Has anyone else tried it?

    I was diagnosed this year and do not want to take sinemet after reading the side effects. I take mucuna puriens 800 mg from NutriCost. Curious as to why you needed a prescription.
