I've just been diagnosed with pyroluria from (what I'm told is) the best lab for this testing in the country. I've also, independantly, had my zinc blood levels tested and they were low, this, even after taking 60mg of zinc per day. Also have done a 'zinc tally' (involves keeping 1T. of some liquid zinc solution in mouth for 10 seconds and see if you have an unpleasant reaction. Tasted like tap water to me).
For treatment it's being recommend that I jack my zinc dose up to 150mg/day and take 300mg b6/day. Is this advisable? Just what is pyroluria? What should I do about my low zinc levels? Thanks!
