Myself, as well as others have been touting the benfits of Velvet Bean for some time. It helps stabalize brain chemistry, realeases additional GH, and is a great idea for post cycle recovery particularly since GH levels tend to be quite low after long cycles. I just was sifting through a supplement ad (otherwise known as "Flex"), and it appears that Pinnacle Bodyonics makes a product called "AlphaDopa." It is my firm beleif, based on my experience in the past with velvet bean, that this product would be a great addition to your post cycle recovery, and mental well being needs. Please look into it, it runs like $34 for 30 servings, I would at least double or tripple that, but it seems to be a valuable product in all the BS suppliments out there today.     | ||

$102 IMO would be better spent on some clen, clomid and some primo to help me keep post cycle gains ------------------ | ||

Iron, I was assuming that they would already be using those things, lol. No, but seriously guys, don't just pass this over, I don't think you understand the very important mental benefits to velvet bean. It's increases thought clarity, stabalizes brain chemistry, increases GH production, and promotes much better sleep. I just gunna give this a big fat ass BUMP for maybe a few others to read, because I do think it's important. | ||

Meanone-What is the dosage that you have noticed to be effective in these regards with this product? | ||

While i have not used THIS product yet (buying some today), about 1-2 grams of Velvet bean. Every 4 caps of this product yeilds 666.6 mgs of Velvet bean, so I figure by doubling or tripling the dosage you should be in the range. Velvet been is normally 15% L-Dopa, which is what you are really after in this product. It also has two other compounds, and I can't really speak from experience on if those work well at their intended purpose, but Velvet bean DOES! I have been looking for a good source for VB for some time now, so when I found this, I posted it. I used to get some from GOY, but well....Drama unfolded. Either way, VB = good stuff! | ||

I am glad to see the Velvet Bean is getting some good press. I introduse the product months ago on ana.com and still sell it. The one to 2 grams quantity will not do much at all the research points to 3.5-5 grams to reap the cognitive and physical benifits. You can read more about on it on my website www.anabolicsuccess.com | ||

Thanks for you addition. Vox is also a source for Velvet Bean, from what I understand, pretty reasonably priced. To bad he bad mouths those he doesn't know, such as myself, or he might get some more respect for what he claims. | ||

Velvet Bean (Mucuna pruriens, sp?) can be purchased in bulk from Beyond-a-century.com. They sell a 15% standardized extract. The problem with L-Dopa is that it tends to cause nausea in normal doses (150mg+), and can cause certain dyskinesias. Also, without a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor, such as carbidopa, the majority of it with be converted into dopamine outside of the CNS, which increases blood pressure. Sinemet, Deprenyl, and Parlodel are dopaminergic drugs that can be purchased from overseas. | ||

Physically speaking, the reason why people sense a clearer head while taking L-Dopamine, is that it normalizes the Para sympathetic nervous system, or PNS for short. What MeanOne forgot to mention is that combining dopamine or dopamine derrivatives with Sympathetic nervous system stimulants(SNS) such as ephedrine and Clen, is extremely dangerous. It's like your brain having two electric circuits. One main one(SNS), and a back-up(PNS). If you ran them on high at the same time you would short-circuit your brain. e.g. Too much neural stimulation=above normal electrical activity in an environment that is very subsceptible to voltage changes. |
