My kid is decent, is very smart and has a clean room, enjoys gaming and does a lot of research on the PC and also builds computers. and runs a YouTube channel that makes around 50$ a month from adrevenue, He gets very bad grades, does not usually try and says its boring, he is smart and knows a lot but you still need a high school education.

Similarly, if you tyrosine hydroxylase enzyme is fine, and you are eating enough tyrosine or phenylalanine, then your dopamine levels should be good. Supplementing 5-HTP is simply bypassing your tryptophan hydroxylase enzyme, and cutting past that rate-limiting step. It's healthier long-term to get your enzyme levels balanced, and let your body handle production from dietary sources.
