As one who is A1298C -Ho I'm concerned about low BH4 and the related buildup of Ammonia, Peroxinitrite, Superoxide as a result.
Came across something interesting today. Apparently, Watermelon (especially the rind) is high in all the cofactors that drive the urea cycle -- Ornithine, Citrulline and Arginine.
A study indicated that watermelon increased arginine and ornithine 22% and 18% respectively and citrulline is derived but not elevated but that's because it's converted into arginine.

As an added bonus, these components in watermelon increase HGH.

Any other thoughts on lowering Ammonia, Peroxinitirite, Superoxide and also Phenylalanine (though not part of this cycle) would be appreciated.
