Re: anyone using GPC (glycerophosphocholine) or PS (Phosphatidylserine)?

[Guest guest]

I have never heard of GPC, would appreciate if you could post whatever

you find.

My son has mito dysfunction - panic levels of alanine (their words),

elevated ammonia, higher lactate - and phosphatidylserine did nothing

for him. Nor did the Yasko PS/PE/PC (the complex). The latter comes in

a gelcap which makes my son nuts, I was thinking that it was pushing

his homocysteine to methionine too much since he does not have any

mutations on the BHMT. He seems better off without it so I give it

once a week or 10 days for the heck of it in case it might help in

some way I am unaware of. We have problems on the MTR and MTRR, the

long route.

I do want to do phosphatidylcholine but I heard its contraindicated

for seizures, am waiting to clear more stuff out of his body before we

give that a shot, its on the agenda.
