In reply to MAOI's and protein powder, posted by cecilia on November 20, 2005, at 6:01:59
I only know a little about this. There are hydrolysed protein powders and in them the protein is split up into its constituent amino acids, maybe 20 or so. There's lots of L-phenylalanine (1.1g), L-tyrosine (1.1g) and L-tryptophan (0.6g) available in a single seve of this one in front of me (Musashi Shih Ho).
So you can see a potential problem there. What about whey though?
I imagine if your use of such protein powders was not excessive (so to speak), the main response would be to feel revved up ie I'm assuming that the protein powder would potentiate the MAOI. Would such a powder help with MAOI poopout?
