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.
