this is kinda getting back to http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/alter/20040928/msgs/404204.html
with BH4.
Think I meant that post for you as well :-)Have you found any good biopterin? Is it still norival (n-acetyl tyrosine and biopterin that you mention) in http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/alter/20040901/msgs/386715.html
Also what did you end up taking to produce glutathione (if you worked anything out :-)
Sorry for all the questions
