Has anyone tried this obscure TCM called Mu Gua?

I was researching rare herbal nootropic and found this gem. Someone claimed that this is a "potent and selective dopamine reuptake inhibitor that is centrally acting" https://www.amazon.com/Mu-Gua-Flowering-Quince-fruit/dp/B00415MJTA#customerReviews
It also goes by the name Chaenomeles Speciosa or Flowering Quince
I found two studies that supported their claim

It seems very interesting

I have, waaaay back in the day. No idea if it was real or pure or not. This was before I had my own lab. Wasn't super impressed, but the stuff I tried may have just sucked. I can revisit it.
