> I got out my book last night on amino acid precursor loading to look up some information. I haven't give Norival a try yet. Are you still taking that? If so, how much and how often?1-2 capsules a day (300mg of n-acetyl tyrosine)
>Do you take any other amino acids now (besides NAG)?NAG is really an amino sugar, or glycoaminoglycan (GAG). Sometimes take methionine with methylfactors, NAC (in thiodox), phenylalanine, and just bought some egg white protein to see how I do with that - I ought to eat more protein but struggle to eat animals!
>I'm trying to remember the sequence of events in the brain. Tyrosine becomes dopamine and then some of that gets metablized to norepinephrine. Does the process ever go backwards and NE becomes DA again? I doubt it but I want to be sure of this because I'm going to make some decisions where this is critical to know.As far as I know, it only goes one way - never heard of enzymes that work the other way, but is probably best to check with a few people.
