Yes, which leads back to why are our neuromelanin so vulnerable?

BTW, tried 500 mg of TH yesterday and felt great with no noticeable wear off. Today, it interfered with Sinemet absorption leaving me with two bad offs. Ths is a known, so how do we take it close enough to a Sinemet dose to benefit but far enough away so as not to interfere?
