Putting health at risk
So as someone who very seriously studies herbs, I can tell you that this brand is now a complete and total ripoff. They are completely mixing this with fenugreek and other fillers depending on which batch you get. When I say I ‘know’ there is fenugreek in there, there is a ton of fenugreek in the last batch of this I bought. Most people are clueless as to how to know what to look for in Mucana Pruriens, but this has been diluted with several other ingredients. So you know fenugreek prevents the body from being able to sustain even moderately higher levels of dopamine, instead it flushes the extra dopamine out of the body. What used to be a decent brand (that I actually used to recommend to people) has steadily gone down in quality. Now it is truly dishonest, and I am having to tell the people I once recommended this product to them to switch over to the bulk supplements version of this. They claim this brand is like a 20:1 extract while bulk supplements claims 4:1, and the 4:1 works better than the supposed 20:1 extract... I have tried them side by side at least 40 times... This product is now a total rip off. Three times or more in a row now this product has been altered. I have a friend taking this for Parkinson’s Disease, and it used to work decent for him like a year ago... Now there are extremely serious issues at risk with his health because this company is lying. I am so disappointed. I used to recommend this brand for several things to a number of people... but now they are a terrible company.... I have been letting people know that this is a dishonest company and not to jeopardize there health by taking other ingredients that can interfere with other specific health issues they might have. Please don’t put your health at risk and use this brand.
