I agree completely that the balance is key. I do have a whole animal protein at breakfast and then the hydrolyzed gelatin throughout the day. Maybe I forgot to mention the breakfast....Hi Sergey - I do often use B complex supplements (pure encapsulations presently, due to the Niacinamide ingredient rather than Nicotinamide). The complex contains a high dose of B5 and a moderate dose of B7.
Very interesting - thanks for these. I've had to take some time away to digest (ha!) this information - as I say, it's not something I've ever thought about. But perhaps some careful experimenting is in order. FYI I've never taken antacids or the like.
Hi Lady Rae. I'm glad your experiment is going well so far. But there are definitely certain aminos that we need to be getting in certain quantities. I think methionine restriction in a lab settings has yielded interesting results in terms of life-span enhancing etc., but in a more practical setting (reality / nature), it is quite difficult to restrict methionine without getting deficiencies in the other essential aminos.
I saw a video from Hans some while back, where he talks about counter-studies showing that: as long as methionine is appropriately balanced with glycine (e.g. gelatinous cuts), then the life-span enhancing properties to the methionine-restricted mice vs. the life span of the mice with normal methionine levels matched with glycine, were not discernible or observable.
I don't really know if this counter-study is true, and I certainly wouldn't disregard your experience of reduced hair fall on a low methionine / high glycine diet - but it seems to me that there is a balance to be made. I think a zero methionine diet would, by extension, be (almost) vegan - whilst some animal products would be consumed, the general ill-health that all vegans seem to experience after any moderate length of time on the diet would probably occur with heavy methionine restriction. i.e. from a lack of key amino acids and absorbable b vitamins.
Hi Vito, how's Joe? I do keep Calcium high enough to match my daily Phosphorus intake, at least 1 Ca : 1 P. However, I do this via calcium carbonate supps and not from dairy - I don't tolerate dairy well at all, as mentioned above. Many thanks though!
