Nutritional Protocols for Pyroluria/Pyrroles Disorder leads to Happier Kids

Pyroluria/Pyrroles disorder is a genetic and biochemical imbalance affecting the haemoglobin pathway.

This biochemical imbalance results in higher than normal excretion of the essential nutrients zinc and vitamin B6.

The importance of Zinc and Vitamin B6 in Pyroluria/Pyrroles

Zinc and vitamin B6 play crucial roles in the normal production of neurotransmitters. These regulate:

  • Mood
  • Sleep
  • Cognition
  • Emotional control

Behaviour and mood linked to nutrient deficiencies

When such high excretion levels are experienced, nutritional deficiencies follow, and a variety of symptoms may result:

  • Poor stress control and emotional disorders
  • Mood swings and anxiety
  • Lack of early morning appetite
  • Fatigue
  • Poor memory and concentration levels
