Thanks @DuggaDugga I'll definitely check out those links. I know tryptophan is aweful, yet it's needed during periods of rapid growth, just like methionine and even iron. Now I certainly would not go supplementing with those, just stated it out of interest.
Btw, how much protein would you say would be the optimal requirement for building muscle while avoiding too much iron, methionine and tryptophan, (while also taking BCAA to prevent tryptophan absorption)? Some studies state 4g/kg is safe, but don't see high levels of Fe, tryp, meth as bad. Would 1g/lb of bodyweight be the safest, or is protein actually not as important for building muscle when you have anabolic hormones high and catabolic hormones low?
As I personally think one can eat high protein, but ingest vit E/caffeine with it to inhibit iron absorption, take BCAAs to prevent tryptophan absorption and cycle 5 days on and 2 days off of a high protein diet to allow recovery and detoxification.
What about B3 as it's a potent inhibitor of G6PD?
