With a lil adjusting and perhaps adding any additional sups/herbs you may need, if any, you should be good to go from the natural perspective. Just play around with the bean and see how it fits...you will some benefit but you may not like it i dunno...its individual but i know for fact that many who cant tolerate tyrosine yet still want natural go mucuna with success. Ive always been interested in these but never found them strong enough for anxiety...they did take the edge off for me though. I will end up messin with DA sups again, at some point perhaps, if my gp refuses to augment with something to boost it. *fingers crossed* for that pdoc appointment coming soon
