Can neurotransmitters be replaced by changing ones diet?
Dietary improvements are certainly helpful but may not completely correct neurotransmitter deficiencies. Foods vary in amounts of their amino acid content and their absorption may not be predictable. Tryptophan, the precursor for serotonin, is the most difficult amino acid to get from food. In order to absorb the quantity of amino acides from food to equal that of CraniYums, one would have to eat protein equivalent to a 32-ounce steak or 3-dozen eggs each day. These amounts are not practical nor nutritionally recommended.
