Hi,
I just had a general question about mucuna pruriens. Since it contains L-dopa which is a precursor to dopamine, is there any risk associated with its use during PCT (it is one of the components in a popular PCT product)? I ask specifically as it relates to endogenous dopamine production. I don't hope that after taking it and coming off it, I start to develop Parkinson's like symptoms. My father has Parkinson's hence the additional concern as it runs in his side of the family. He was diagnosed at age 65 (now 70). From some of the pubmed research that I have glossed over there doesn't seem to be any correlation with endogenous production of dopamine being affected..so I was just curious. I am entering PCT soon and the thought entered my mind. Thanks for your time.
