Black Lion Research Prolactrone

"I had a prescription for Cabergoline 0.5,mg from my family doc. I have a dopamine deficiency, so if I take any hormone that influences a spike in prolactin, my sexual desire goes dead in the water. I am VERY sensitive to whether a dopamine agonist works, given this genetic issue. I have tried Mucuna Pruriens of at least three manufacturers.

Bottom line -- I know if a compound works, and I know what it’s supposed to feel like.

This product is as close to replicating the feel of Cabergoline as any product I’ve ever used, hands down. The only other time I came close to replicating this effect is when I took an enteric coated Velvet Bean supplement, standardized to 15% L-Dopa, and took it at 6 times the recommended dose, along with EGCG. But that was the problem, it took SIX TIMES the dose (333mg of 15% extract versus 166mg of 99%, the numbers actually are an equivalence of 6.6 times). Taking six times the dose of a quality Mucuna supplement is expensive, as this other brand costs $20 for 60 capsules, not to mention the cost of EGCG extract.

The other thing I will applaud Black Lion Research for is that they were smart enough not to combine L-DOPA with P5P. P5P is in fact helpful to promoting dopamine and lowering prolactin, but to a lesser degree than L-DOPA and L-DOPA and P5P cancel each other out because they compete for the same pathway. Plus there is also a theory that P5P, which is essentially a superior form of B6, increases dopamine in the body and not the brain. Black Lion gets an “A” on this formulation!"
