User Reviews for cowhage

tl;dr: I tried this supplement because I think I have ADHD, and was hoping that a stronger stimulant than caffeine might be good for my executive function. It sure is a stimulant, but not a very helpful one for me. This supplement causes a warm, tactile sensation of presence in my muscles that makes moving feel more pleasant. It sometimes makes my stomach a bit sick. It raises my heart rate and makes me feel more energetic in a different way than caffeine. If I take it when excessively sleep-deprived or for too many days in a row, I sometimes start to get cognitive and visual distortions and have to stop taking it (those symptoms make me think I might be at risk for drug-induced psychosis if I don't stop). I didn't notice benefits for my attention span or most other aspects of executive function, but I had more willpower than usual to keep exercising through discomfort, so that's not nothing.Read More Read Less

My husband has been on this treatment for about 7 months. His tremors are unchanged. His cognitive function is improved. His gait is better. He smells like a tobacco shop. His urine is dark brown.

I started taking mucuna pruriens capsules shortly after being diagnosed with Parkinson's. After a week my tremors had diminished, I was steadier (balance improved), and I was walking faster again, more like my natural gait when younger. My neurologist is very pleased with my experience and is now recommending mucuna pruriens to other patients. Highly recommended.

Just diagnosed with PD. Taking this has for now alleviated the need to start prescription medications with harsher side effects.

At first I took this for better sexual performance(makes me last a bit longer), but found that it makes me somewhat calmer, my dopamine levels has been down since I quit smoking in 2007...my moods flucuated QUITE a bit...ashwaganda keeps me on an even keel, along with macuna it helped my cholesterol too:)

I have used macuna puriens for about 4 months to treat my parkinsons disease,I ingest 1 table spoon 3x per day. So far no improvement.

I sleep better since starting this supplement

Needs to be supported with precursors,amino acids and coenzymes. Amazing results. My Dad went from not being able to feed himself easily to being able to use both hands and hold a glass of water. Psychological improvements even better

Chosen over using l-dopa With satisfying results very encouraged.
