- Question Regarding No-Phenol and Amino Acid Supplements

[Guest guest]

- I was reading on enzymesstuff specifically about serotonin

and amino acids. Below is the section I'm referring too:

" If amino acids are not digested readily, they convert to toxins in

the gut... where a couple of them become phenols. This conversion to

toxin/phenolic compounds may contribute to the phenol sensitivity

condition that some people see with increased protein digestion. It

could be that by taking enzymes to digest the meats, the production

of toxins and more phenolic compounds will be reduced because the

amino acids will be absorbed much sooner by the gut before they are

converted to toxins. "

My son currently takes a custom blend amino acid supplement by

Metabolic Maintenance on a daily basis along w/a capsule of

methionine. In order to further breakdown that supplement for

digestion purposes, would you know if there would be any benefit in

my son taking No-Phenol at the same time? I maybe confusing this

with digestive enzymes only working on food vs. supplements.

I appreciate your time and reply. Thank you.
