still popping 2 pills of Vitamin B Komplex daily (600% RDA of B1, B2, B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6, B7 (biotin), B9 (folic acid), B12)
since iam on a sort of modified Paleo diet i guess iam getting decent amount of proteins from my daily food intake (Tryptophan is a protein amino acid)...
so i guess its more about fine-tuning the "aiding" vitamins to utilize all the tryptophan i eat
check the graphs posted on this thread for the SEROTONIN and GABA pathways (thanks sameel)
and here for DOPAMINE pathway (
mental health : Light Chiropractic and Wellness)
made a table of some foods i eat (the values are corelated to specified portion sizes) - this is in no way diet suggestion… its just part of my exisitng diet...
the only aiding element i couldnt find statistical data for is "Taurine" mentioned in GABA pathway, also the B9 (folic acid) statistical data is probably inaccurate (all zeros) - all data take from NutritionData.com
i was looking for rough estimate how much pathway sources and aiding agents i can ingest via my normal diet…
columns 1-3 are pathway sources in mg: Tryptophan, Phenylalanine, Tyrosine
columns 4-14 are various aiding agents mentioned in the pathways in % of RDA: Iron, Magnesium, Zinc, Calcium, Copper, B5 (pantothenic acid), B1 (thiamin), B3 (niacin), B6, B9 (folic acid), Vitamin C
you should be idealy getting 100% of each aiding element every day (RDA)
i guess given my mix of breakfast, lunch, dinner - mostly paleo style with lots of proteins… i guess i might be getting enough "pathway sources" from my diet (Tryptophan, Phenylalanine, Tyrosine), but i bet iam not geting enough of all the aiding agents…
i guess on some days i get less than 20% RDA on some of the aiding agents… so the ingested amino acid sources are left unused and unconverted to neurotransmitters…
i will definitelly investigate some MULTIVITAMIN pills to get all the aiding sources supplemented… i just have to figure out how to combine MULTIVITAMIN with the B KOMPLEX so i dont overdo the percentages (id like to keep B vitamins under 600% RDA so its still "supplementing" and not biohacking

currently evaluating some high quality Multivitamin brands available in local shops (Reflex Nutrition, Viridian Nutrition, etc.) and their % RDA of the "aiding agents" utilised in SEROTONIN / GABA / DOPAMIN pathways... will post another table when iam done calculating...
