Positive experiences

“Saffron and mucuna pruriens ! You can take them separately but I take them both and it works great for dopamine, mood, motivation, getting rid of Anhedonia/apathy etc.”
“30 minutes after I drink this, I have laser sharp focus and 0 brain fog. I feel energized and my brain works quicker.”
“I take L-dopa (mucana pruriens) 60 mg 2-3 times a day to treat the stiffness/muscle spasm. Massive difference.”
“Check out rhodoila root and dopa mucana for energy, added them to my stack w/ great results.”
