Each MacuDopa capsule contains 100mg of natural L-DOPA, which offers a gentler action compared to synthetic L-DOPA - roughly equivalent to 80mg of synthetic L-DOPA. Many clients find this smoother effect beneficial in reducing side effects. Some neurologists may recommend pairing MacuDopa with a small amount of carbidopa for optimal results.  (Always consult your doctor for guidance on making this switch.)

MacuDopa can be introduced gradually by replacing your morning dose while continuing your regular medication later in the day. This cautious approach lets you trial its effects while maintaining your treatment plan. Alternatively, many people use MacuDopa as a top-up between prescribed doses to help maintain more consistent symptom control throughout the day.

If you haven’t taken any form of levodopa before, MacuDopa can be introduced gently as your initial source of natural dopamine support. This approach allows you to start at a comfortable level, observe how your body responds, and build up gradually if needed.
