well according to this B2 B3 Iron and SamE can all accelerate neurotransmitters breakdown
What ? methylfolate has nothing to do with BH4 production, that's new lol
Stop spitting nonsense dude, maybe you should read the legend in the bottom right of the picture.
@Britton777 B2 tends to have a calming effect. It's one of the Bs that I can and do take at night when I can't sleep. I started small, it felt weird to me and I then had to slowly titrate up on its cofactors -- selenium, molybdenum (the hardest for me) and iodine (to make sure the thyroid gland is working sufficiently; or if it is, fine) --once they were on board I could take much larger doses.
Amazingly, at 200mg/day, I still seem not to be taking enough.

I have been taking B2 for a few days now and it has helps with my sleep as well. It does not necceserily help me
fall sleep but it helps me stay sleep for more than 2 hours (which was my previous pattern)... I really hope this
is not a short term benefit and it lasts long term.
In fact, that and the calming effect is the only benefit i am feeling.... I am now wondering if the reason why it helps some people and not others has to do with if the person is an overmethylator or undermethylator?.... and based on that it helps/not help them.
36.5 mg once a day.... I am still experimenting with the dosage though since I just started.How much B2?
