Company details

  1. Health Food Store

Written by the company

MacuDopa contains Mucuna pruriens (velvet bean). Mucuna is a rich food source of L-Dopa, the precursor to dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is involved in memory, movement, cognitive function, mood and motivation. Dopamine levels are low in Parkinson’s sufferers. Mucuna is an effective support for many people with Parkinson’s Disease as it is a plant-based alternative to synthetic pharmaceutical levodopa treatments. Each 700mg MacuDopa capsule contains 100mg of L-Dopa. We use HPLC (high pressure liquid chromatography) to standardise the amount of L-Dopa ensuring that each capsule gives a measured intake each and every time. MacuDopa also contains BF12, a specially formulated compound containing folate (which contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue), biotin (which contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system), and vitamin B12 (which contributes to normal psychological function). The BF12 health claims are EFSA approved.

I've had great success with MacuDopa

I've had great success with MacuDopa. For me, it kicks in faster and lasts longer then carbidopa/levodopa. I take it along with a separate carbidopa pill.

I appreciate that it is standardized. And that it contains other parts of the plant as well - and may actually be supporting me in addition to easing symptoms temporarily.

Customer service has been outstanding as well.

Terrible impact on my sleep

I bought the sleep variety of the medication that the Macudopa company offers. I had a terrible experience on the first night I took the medication. I had horribly frightening dreams and woke up with severe pain in both arms. I threw the medication in the bin immediately... due to being visibly alarmed and distressed by how it had negatively impacted by sleep.

Dear Shamsa,

Thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m very sorry to hear you had a difficult night. No-one should feel unsettled after trying a product intended to support rest. For clarity, could you let us know whether you used MacuDopa Night or SomniDopa? The formulas are totally different, and this will help us understand more.

To reassure you: MacuDopa Night contains only natural Mucuna pruriens with delayed-release cofactors, and there is no clinical evidence linking it to frightening dreams or sudden arm pain. Likewise, SomniDopa’s four ingredients (Magnesium Bisglycinate, Lemon Balm, L-Theanine, L-Taurine) have no known association with nightmares or bilateral limb pain, and we have never received a similar report with either product.

Night-time symptoms such as sudden arm pain or vivid dreams can arise from unrelated factors (REM rebound, Lewy body, adrenal insufficiency, sleep position, neck or shoulder compression, or general stress), and these can unfortunately coincide with trying something new even when the product is not the cause.

Your comfort matters to us. If you would like a refund, replacement, or to talk it through, please email info@macudopa.com

Thank you again for reaching out, and we hope you are feeling better.

Warm regards,
The MacuDopa Team

Mucuna has helped me decrease my…

Mucuna has helped me decrease my CarbaDopa pharmaceutic intake by almost half . I’ve tried several brands but MacunaDopa has standardized production methods this insures quality and dosage. It’s been a good fit for me . Treating this disease holistically where ever I can . Even my MDS agrees it’s a safe addition.

Great product and works so much better than the synthetic PD drugs available.
Macudopa is completely natural with a much quicker effect, you stay on longer and they even have a night tablet that is a game changer - no more waking up and not being able to move !!

Definitely recommend MacuDopa

My dad who has had Parkinson’s for almost 10 years now, he’s 67 this year, swears by these tablets & says that they help his shakes, help him feel “back to normal” sometimes and spoke to his Parkinson’s specialist about these and they approved of all the ingredients & said if it works for you they’re happy for him to be taking them. He says these are the best tablets he has tried for his Parkinson’s (he’s tried so many things) & has been taking these for a while now. He always recommends them to others. Thank you MacuDopa for playing such a vital role in my dads life 🫶🏼❤️

High quality natural source of L-Dopa

I just started my third bottle of the Macudopa Night. I was looking for an alternative to the very expensive Rytary and came across this product. I take one before bed and one in the morning alongside Dopa Mucuna (Now brand). The Macudopa seems to be far superior to Dopa Mucuna in potency. Since its an extended release, it helps me enjoy at least the first half of the night's sleep. I'm still working to get my dosages and timing right to better control my tremors and may end up purchasing the Day Macudopa to replace the Dopa Mucuna entirely. It's an ongoing process.

The MacuDopa has given me hope

I have had Parkinson’s for 7 years now and felt very low in energy and weak. Was beginning to give up hope of feeling any better. Then I heard about MacuDopa. I feel so much stronger and more positive. My friends and family have noticed the difference. I use MacuDopa Day and MacuDopa Night. Highly recommend.
