DDC actually.

And if this is the case, maybe many ADHD cases are caused by a B6 deficiency since B6 is the cofactor for DDC. Studies have pointed to this already:

If I had a kid with ADHD I would get their B6 tested.

That's interesting but we would know already if B6 was a potent cure to ADHD so either it only help slighly, either it has to be supplemented as a child and as an aldult it would be too late.
- FollowingTheDao 5y agoP5P does not seem to cause as many problems as Pyridoxine. But that is why you anyone taking supplements should get tested first. And no, we would not know if it helped. Because money. And it might only help a subset of patients since ADHD is so polygenic. Raise of hands here for anyone with ADHD who has had a serum B6 test???
