if you have i'd like to know your reactions to it, i found out about it today whilst looking up 5htp powder on ebay, something im very familiar with and thought about trying again for a mood boost
this is an ancient indian natural dopamine enhancer / producer and it is the highest natural source of dopamine compared to other natural and non natural sources i believe so thought it might be worth a try, it's very expencive though i found a good price for 250g powder @ £8 which is about half price of the others ive found but it's not labeled as organic...

Works after EGCG/Green Tea for COMT inhibition so Dopamine crosses BBB
Quote:
Green tea at 5 grams should do it, ~15 minutes prior. I guess if you wanted to be fancy some EGCG extract would be prime.
Before making the green tea eat some black pepper to aid its absorption.
To extract the EGCG from green tea, use boiling water acidified with lemon. Steep, covering it with a lid to prevent evaporation, let it steep a while (at least 5 minutes if it's off heat, only 5 needed if it's on), and dunk it repeatedly and squeeze the leaf dry.
Enjoy the filtered Mucuna brew. When I was using Mucuna I would eat one Griffonia simplicifolia seed at night for 5-htp.
The "Mucuna pruriens smoker's cut" is worth looking into, the smoking blend mentioned at bottom is great (I used Nelumbo nucifera stamen instead of mullein).
Quote:
"My preferred method of consumption is mixing an equal weight of ground Mucuna with Green tea, between 3-10 grams of each, and I often include other herbs to modulate or potentate the effects such as cayenne, black pepper, turmeric, coffee or guayusa, catuaba, muira puama, raw cacao etc. I would not mix Mucuna with MAO inhibitors. That being said, if you are responsible there is definitely potential here when it comes to mixing. If Mucuna is considered for long term use, it is recommended to take 5-htp alongside of it to prevent an imbalance of serotonin to dopamine. I would not take Mucuna daily. Every other day at most. Even then you can not be assured you will not experience side effects such as a taxing of your bodies reserves.
Mucuna can also be smoked, the leaves and shoots being much easier to inhale than the bean itself. Upon heating, L-Dopa is converted into Dopamine and smoking Mucuna can provide effects quite similar to when it is mixed with green tea. I quite enjoy a smoking blend of Mucuna pruriens foliage with some crushed beans thrown in combined with kanna, caapi laves, & mullein." -Koda, http://entheogen-network.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=25026

I was able to get the euphoria and other good effects of L-DOPA to last about 3 to 4 hours, strongly for 2 and tapering down from there. The combination used was 600 mg Green Tea Extract (50% EGCG, which is the active ingredient, meaning 300 mg EGCG), 100 mg L-DOPA, 150 mg Hordenine, and 100 mg Rutin.

I've taken it. It's purported as a test booster among other things. Can't say that I've noticed much, and it could all be attributed to placebo. But it does give me wild dreams (I take it before bed), and I'm more motivated in the gym. That alone leads to gains.

thanks friend i read through that post and will take note, interesing to mix pepper and green tea for some people to get results, the vids i watched mentioned nothing of this and how it contains certain ammounts of dmt, (aparecnltly all platnts do on some level) but more than some plants do and might feel slightly hallucinogenic from it, this could just be a typical euphoric feeling though...but guess thats what the mao from the pepper tea is for ?

The pepper is for the tea to work. The tea is for the mucuna to work.
I don't think you'll get any dmt effects, just dopey. Could be good replacement for kratom. I was nearly nodding after smoking mucuna foliage with Cappi leaf, kanna and lotus stamen.

oh ok cheers for clearing htat up, i tried a little kratom last night, it was bought fresh earlier in the year and kept in a sealed bag, had a few doses from it near when i bought it and was as disgusting as the previous batch, its red leaf, but last night i could not handle the taste in my mouth jsut froma small teaspoon, it seemed more awuful than it was before... i madea mix in a cup and drank half before spitting hte other half out, did relax me a little though.

Yes- I tried it and got a Ritalin like effect.
It is legitimately psychoactive. However I didn't care for it enough to use it again.
