Let me guess, you have mutations on MAO-A and COMT, but also have a couple MTHFR or MTRR mutations as well?

That is why there is conflicting results. Those sites are a good place to start your searching. However, they cannot program everything into the algorithm that suggests things. When you have MAO-A and COMT mutations, yo

Lithium can help regulate COMT. It takes a while to work, though. MAO-A expression is kind of hard to change. Oxidative stress up-regulates MAO-A. However, you don't really want to do that! The best approach is to try an

Dietary sulfur comes from methionine, cysteine, and taurine; usually in the form of proteins. The methylation cycle regulates the production of compounds in the body that require sulfur. One of the most common sulfur con

Yeah, when you have mutations that conflict, those site recommendations fall pretty flat. It would be better if they just stuck to explaining the mechanisms. But then people want more explanation. It's just a complex thi
