A True Magical Bean Very Underrated
Mucuna Pruriens & Kratom
Citation:   Carpo. "A True Magical Bean Very Underrated: An Experience with Mucuna Pruriens & Kratom (exp107031)". Erowid.org. Oct 8, 2015. erowid.org/exp/107031

 
DOSE:
1.5 tsp oral Mucuna pruriens (extract)
      Kratom  
BODY WEIGHT: 180 lb
Mucuna is a wonderful plant. It is the only known natural source of such high levels of L-Dopa, and when I tried it I was very surprised at the efficacy.

I had received a 100g bag I bought from my regular kratom vendor. It was standardized to 25% L-Dopa. I took a little at first, and for the past 10 days I have been taking about 1.5 tsp per day, half in morning and 1 tsp at night. The feeling is not just placebo. I have felt more balanced, calmer, and focused. My energy level has been the same, but my mind is ready to go. NOT racing, but focused.

I did not even know I had low dopamine, I usually feel great. I am always positive, and have a great life, enjoy everything...so it surprised me it helped so much. But it also contains HTP and many other compounds.

It appears to synergize with kratom fantastically. I heard that kratom is a decarboxylase inhibitor, which increases the efficacy. I am a regular user of kratom for 6 years, and cannabis for 23 years. I know my body well, and this herb has fantastic potential.
