I did not experience any increase in my energy level or improvement to my health.

This product does seem to make a difference in over all performance. I do enhance my health by supplementing and I do work with a doctor who knows what I am taking in total. This is a brain and migraine healing quest, and so far the things I am doing seem to be getting more life out of each day.I'm giving 4 stars.

This herb contains l-dopa, which is a precursor to dopamine in the brain. It can increase dopamine levels, and as such, provide an energy and mood boost (and it may help with Parkinson's disease). I do feel the boost. However, I am reluctant to play around with dopamine levels too much, especially if you're in a mentally healthy state.So, if you feel like you need a mood or energy boost, this is worth a try. Just be aware that when playing with brain chemistry, you have to be careful.

I've discovered that mucuna is one of the supplements that eases nicotine withdrawal (the others being bacopa and N-A-C.) I haven't had a problem taking it morning or night (doesn't seem to interfere with sleep for me, might be different for someone else.)

I take this upon waking up before breakfast and it helps me become more alert while boosting my mood and giving me some energy.

These help increase your seratonin and after a week I notice a lift in mood!!
