Could it be possible i have Pyrroles Disorder and not know it?

A question we are being asked frequently these days is ‘What is Pyrrole Disorder?

Pyrrole disorder is known by many other names such as mauve factor, pyrolouria, and kryptopyroluria or kryptopyrole disorder.

How does Pyrroles work?

This abnormality, results in an over production of hydroxyhempyrolin (HPL). The HPL accumulates and binds to zinc and B6, preventing their use in the body.

Essentially we become Zinc and B6 Deficient , wreaking Havoc

Environmental, emotional and physical stress will increase the production of HPL, which will lead to zinc and B6 being excreted from the body via the urine and hair.

What sort of symptoms would I be feeling if I can’t utilise my bodies B6 or Zinc?
