"Quinolines particularly deplete B-vitamins, folic acid (B-9), calcium/magnesium/zinc and omega-3 fatty acid."
I am wondering if this could effect the cholesterol levels?
My son at 3 yrs old (6months after starting singulair)was discovered to have high cholesterol of 256 even though he ate very healthy.
We know that there is a connection between B vitamins and high cholesterol. We also know that serotonin, and certain B- vitamins are produced from tryptophan, an essential amino acid. We also know that during inflammation that tryptophan metabolites are taken away from the serotonin, B- vitamin pathway for other purposes. What we can't do so far is to blame Singulair for diverting tryptophan away.
