Testimonial: Mucuna Pruriens for a Calmer Mind

Customer testimonial via email:

I began taking a Mucuna Pruriens pill in February 2017 to help quit smoking and to deal with the stress of my wife's medical problems. The quitting smoking did not happen, but I've now been taking it every day, upon waking, prior to eating breakfast. The effect seems to last for easily 12 hours, sometimes longer.
