The study you mention states this:

Mucuna pruriens Seed May Be Helpful in Long-term Management of Parkinson's Disease:

These findings suggest that M pruriens formulations may actually have a higher bioavailability than standard L-dopa preparations.... If these findings can be confirmed in larger and longer term studies, mucuna would seem to be a reasonable commercially viable alternative to standard L-dopa."

Like I said before, this is irrelevant to everyone reading this forum. L-DOPA and mucuna are two things that are reasonable to take if and only if one has Parkinson's that is no longer treatable with NMDA antagonists, dopamine receptor agonists, and/or MAOB inhibitors. That is because mucuna causes the same dyskinesias as L-DOPA.
