I was reading Ben Lynch's site and found this advice for stimulating BH4:
Nutrients to support BH4:
iron, B12, methylfolate, niacin, B6, copper, magnesium and vitamin C
http://mthfr.net/mthfr-a1298c-mutation-some-information-on-a1298c-mthfr-mutations/2011/11/30/
Doesn't it seem contradictory to have methyls AND niacin/niacinamide in the same protocol? Doesn't niacin STOP methylation and M-B12 & 5-MTHF STIMULATE methylation?
Also, is niacinamide okay to take in instead of niacin?
thanks
