> The d-isomer cannot go towards tyrosine, so all of it gets "diverted" towards the alternative products unique to phenylalanine, such as phenylethylamine (PEA). Also, there is good evidence that the d-isomer inhibits the breakdown of endorphins (your natural opiate-receptor ligands).
Ok, thanks.
> Remember, he's well. He's looking at the enhancement of normal functioning, IMHO. He's very conservative in his recommendations, even for a proponent of supps.Good point! I suspect that much of the feedback that he gets from people, which he often reports on his site too, is from folks like him.
> I wouldn't worry about the folate. Rather than taking more B-50, try taking multiples of the TMG-containing pills.
Didn't think of that, thanks. :)
> Yes, it makes sense. I don't agree with the contraindications given on that website. Instead, I believe in the synergy of multiple interventions. The problem is, some of the interventions I've tried have been useless, and others have been too strong. It can take a long time figure it all out, and we're all unique. But, if you're struggling psychologically, then I fully support your decision to just go for it.
Unfortunately, something is giving me heartburn, now I have to figure out what.
Thanks for your help! :)
