Hi
I am reading all kinds of confusing info about BH4. From one side, I see that Dr. Yasko has made a note on my UAA test(due to semi high Ammonia I assume) to take BH4 , but knowing that she normally does not look at the whole picture when recommending supplements I am very cautious .
The reason is, as I understand, BH4 also helps convert Tyrosine to L-Dopa which will eventually convert to Dopamine... Well in my case I have COMT++ , so wouldn't that be harmful ?
Your thoughts and recommendations are appreciated.
