What got worse for some people
In their own words
“I was taking 500mg every morning and the energy and focus was pretty intense.”
“Mucuna is ok, but I crash within a couple hours of taking it, brain fog and all the fun low dopamine sides.”
“I took the recommended doses, and once doubled it, but saw very little results, if any.”
“I felt really good some of the last days from taking Mucuna Prunes giving me better motivation.”
“Muccuna pruines made me feel really motivated and good, but many say to avoid and I did feel a crash when not having the day later.”
“Funny thing they did the opposite, made me feel so tired and sleepy... Exclude mucuna from your stack.”
