Our Story
MacuDopa is more than just a supplement; it's a family endeavor born out of love and necessity.
When Caryn, our co-director, was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's, we united as a family to find a natural way to support her. This journey led us to develop MacuDopa, and now we're here to share it with you.

Caryn's Story
A Challenging Career...
"My diagnosis came as a huge shock. I was young and had a brilliant challenging career in the global music industry."
I was quite frankly devastated and unsure what to do. I turned to my brother, Max, for help. He is a very experienced naturopathic functional medicine practitioner, and suggested that I try the Mucuna pruriens bean.
He said that this natural approach had a vast amount of empirical and scientific evidence to support its use. Mucuna supplies a natural form of Levodopa (L-Dopa). My neurologist, based at London’s leading neurological hospital, was supportive.
