Re: Re: Diarrhea/ How Many CP1's ?

Oh I forgot to add something important. As well as binding with zinc, phytates bind with MAGNESIUM, IRON, CALCIUM and B3. Someone eating lots of breads cakes, beans and nuts to the exclusion of other food groups like veg and fruit should be aware of this.

Just wanted to say thanks for that info on Zinc. Really interesting about the zinc/glutamate connection.

With Andy, I believe it's 1mg per pound of weight + 20mg divided into two or more doses a day

Milk will do the same but how much zinc is chelated depends on the origin of the milk. In descending order cow's milk chelates the most, then goat's, camel's, sheep's with human milk the least problematic.

This may well explain why it is useful in decreasing hyperactivity. Glutamates are abundant all over the body particularly in the gut.Â
