Makes an enzyme that helps break down catechol compounds, including some neurotransmitters. A common variant does not by itself explain mood, attention or stress tolerance.
If you have a COMT mutation, your body may not break down estrogen or absorb B12 properly. 😵💫 The fix? Add DIM (like DIM Avail) for estrogen balance and use adenosyl + hydroxy B12 for better absorption. Start with drops or go straight to c
Can you take bioidentocal hormone replacement therapy if you have COMT?? Some say no, and they are wrong. You HAVE to use bioidential hormones and you HAVE to use someone that knows what they’re doing for treatment. If not, you may have p
