Note on ammonia

[stevesayshi]

Since a lot of people have problems with it, I thought this small note was interesting:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbamoyl_phosphate_synthetase
"Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase catalyzes the ATP-dependent synthesis of carbamoyl phosphate from glutamine (EC 6.3.5.5) or ammonia (EC 6.3.4.16) and bicarbonate...
It represents the first committed step in ... the urea cycle."
Type 1 is found in the mitochondria.
So, ammonia problems could be improved by improving ATP synthesis! How 'bout that?

I've been interested to note that since a major detox elimination, and improved methylation, my body is needing less ammonia-reducing supps. Instead of self-testing + for needing these aminoes twice a day, I'm now tending to need them only once. (citrulline, arginine, ornithine, lysine). I still test + for butyrate whenever I eat meat.
