Twenty-two years ago I learned the importance of Serine in the human body. First, my daughter was born with “an inborn error of serine deficiency.” Then, two years later, the same with my son. They were actually not diagnosed for a few years, and until then there was nothing in the medical literature about the problem. It is now known as 3-Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (3-PGDH) deficiency, their mother and I are genetic carriers.
Serine, in the quantities we needed, was hard to find and expensive.
Many years later, my mother and I both were diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. Neither of us have diabetes, we are not overweight, and have none of the usual markers. After discussing with several doctors, I experimented and found that L-Serine greatly helped both of us! I am part of a study now.
Owning a supplement company helps. Now we are selling pharmaceutical grade L-Serine, we get it direct from the manufacturer, and full assays are available if needed. We package it in the quantity you need, at affordable prices.
is this sourced from China?
The pharmaceutical grade L-Serine is produced in the United States from non-animal materials.
The food grade L-Serine is produced in China. We offer it because of the price differential that some customers need. We are continually on the look out for a domestic supplier.
Do you know the snp that this mutation is carried on? I have done 23&me and have access to my dna but I need to know what the reference to see if I am a carrier.
I believe there are many different issues that can result in a serine deficiency. Here is information on the condition that affects my family.

thank you, I was wondering what is considered a normal range for serine.
Do you mean for levels of serine in your blood or for how much to take?
I am still trying to figure this out. I took a functional blood test and they said I was deficient in serine Their recommendation was to take 1000 mg daily. Since I also carry two gens of the Apoe4 mutation I believe I should be taking serine. 1/4 teaspoon would provide that?
Approximately, yes.
L-serine is a naturally occurring dietary amino acid. It is abundant in soy products, sweet potatoes, eggs, meat, and some edible seaweed. I have food allergies. Can you please tell what original source you derive your product from?
Thank you
As you can see in the FAQs, it is 100% non-animal based and does not contain any of the allergens described in Annex IIIa of Directive 2003/89/EC as amended by Directive 2007/68/EC.
Thanks for the info, however you really have not answered my question, which was what food souce is your L-Serine derived from? The links you provided do not reveal that information either.
The L-Serine is produced by microbial fermentation in which various carbohydrate substances are consumed during the process. These may include the following NON-GMO sources: sugar beets, corn and/or soy.
Thank you
L serine has been literally a life saver for me with long haul covid.. after 1 4000 milligram dose I slept like a baby and my SEVERE brain fog vanished almost immediately
