> I understand that SJW, and Ginkgo have mild MAO-B inhibiting properties. Are there any vitamins, minerals, or other herbs which have an effect on MAO-B ?

> LinkadgeCertain studies showed that Kava inhibited MAO-B. If I had to determine whether I "felt" like this was true from my personal experience of kava and knowledge of the effects of MAO-B inhibition, I'd say that Kava does indeed have this effect, but only in higher doses. If not, I cannot determine what causes the increased energy and motivation that I feel after 3 or 4 days of about 300 - 400 mg lactones / day.
Rhodiola might inhibit MAO-B, but the studies are not very legit, so who knows.
