> I'm glad you're helping to push my brain back into a good zone, Ray. Here are a few abstracts about creatine. I don't know if I own some, or not. But it's certainly going to be something I keep on my shelf.Wow, thanks for all those abstracts Lar!
I've had creatine on my shelf for a year but always got a pounding headache when I took it. It was only when I found out that 70% of all methylation reactions are used to make creatine, that I tried it again. I needed to stock up on methyl donors before I took it (my favourite sublingual B12, folinic acid and betaine). When fully 'methylated' creatine feels brilliant for me! Interesting that creatine kinase is inhibited by mercury and other heavy metals.
Creatine in some abstracts, has been found to protect dopamine and tyrosine hyroxylase too.
Do you know if the sulphation of dopamine is important in dopamine transport/storage? Just seen a few references to free dopamine acting as an oxidant?
Thanks,
Ray
