    High dose folate, B2 and elevation of ammonia and uric acid (for dummies)

    @ahmo Thanks for your response! I'm surprised that the aminos can be absorbed through the water. This is exciting for me to hear, because they really do a number on my stomach. I'm also surprised that the oral dose works just as well in the bath water without needing to add more. Off to take a...

    Freddd Protocol: Brands and Doses

I can buy a capsule instead of a tablet, but the smallest dose is 400mcg, which makes it hard to start lower and titrate up. I'm hoping to find an easier...
