But doesn’t supplementing with L-DOPA result in some nasty side effects?
Yes and No. Dopadex is not the same as traditional levodopa. While there are side effects with levodopa, these side effects have not been observed in studies where Mucuna Pruriens is administered as the L-DOPA source. In one study, participants were given upwards of 30g of Mucuna Pruriens for 30 days and no significant adverse effects were observed

Can this be taken with a meal?
No. We recommend taken this stack on an empty stomach. As seen in this thread -> http://anabolicminds.com/forum/supplements/257294-nutrient-timing-regard.html , taking with food would negatively effect the GH response you are trying to achieve.

When is it best to take this stack?
We recommend taking it pre-workout or pre-bed. And again, in a fasted state.

How much of each product should you take?
As always, we encourage you to read and follow the directions on the label of each product. The amount used in the two studies that investigated the synergy of these two compounds was 750mg capsules taken 3 times a day (for a total of 2250mg). The capsule were comprised of a blend of chlorophytum borivilianum root and velvet bean (mucuna pruriens). The concentration of active ingredients in each capsule was identical.

Where can this stack be purchased?
It is currently available on the Analyzed Supplements site here -> DopaTEST Stack
