Hello,
Have you measured this?
I've read in MEpedia:
"By mediating tryptophan catabolism, the enzyme indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) has a complex role in immunoregulation in infection and autoimmunity.[4] The ME/CFS Severely Ill, Big Data Study of found IDO genes defects in most of the small group with severe ME that was studied, which may prevent people with ME/CFS from metabolising tryptophan, leading to increased levels in patients.[5]
Dr. Ron Davis, speaking about tryptophan being available on the market, has made it clear that self experimentation can be very dangerous.[5]"
However, my tryptophan seems to be low and not higher.
So higher = problems with metabolism and dangerous to experiment, low = something else and can try to take tryptophan?
Anyone similar measurements?
I know there's lots of threads but I'm very severe to forgive that I can't search them.
Anyone else with low tryptophan or higher that has tried to take it?
