Natural Support
for your Parkinson's symptoms with our
Mucuna Pruriens
food supplement capsules
Experience natural support for your symptoms with MacuDopa capsules containing HPLC standardised Mucuna pruriens food supplement.
Mucuna acts rapidly, produces a greater elevation of plasma/blood levels of levodopa and appears to be stronger acting than the synthetic versions. In addition, the improvements achieved can be more durable, with a longer 'ON' phase. Our Mucuna also reduces your chances of developing drug-induced dyskinesia.*
Mucuna pruriens contains natural compounds, including carbidopa*, which enhance the passage of levodopa across the blood-brain barrier, improving its effectiveness in managing Parkinson's symptoms.
Our motto is: 'Living well naturally with parkinson's, until science finds a cure'.

What is MacuDopa?
‘MacuDopa contains HPLC standardised Mucuna pruriens, a natural food supplement which is a source of L-DOPA. Each of our Day and Night capsules contains 100mg of L-DOPA.
Macudopa is a gentle and effective approach to elevating L-DOPA levels in individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Users frequently report a gentler, steady and more gradual impact compared to conventional prescribed medications. Macudopa provides a more subtle and steady experience, allowing individuals to feel normal, empowered and supported in their daily lives. The outstanding feature of MacuDopa is the fact that it greatly reduces the chances of developing dyskinesia, a nasty side effect of standard medical interventions.
Eminent neurologist, Professor Andrew Lees of the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery has a patent on an extraction method for the L-DOPA in Mucuna.
There are a multitude of peer-reviewed studies supporting the use of Mucuna Pruriens in low dopamine states.
