My own experience of treating Pyroluria is that 50mg of zinc is seldom sufficient. An Egot test of B6 would be worthwhile too.I would routinely have plasma zinc,serum copper and ceruloplamin done to get an idea of the proper figure for zinc which is usually 100mg or more.Some patients will require a small amount of omega-3 too and I would do a test for essential fatty acids for that and probably give it at a different time of day to the EPO. Vitamin C at 1000mg twice daily and preferably natural vitamin E 400u twice daily are often used as well.
