this is what i find on l-sarcosine
Might cause insomnia, irritability
Potential to exacerbate pre-existing prostate cancer, as high levels are associated with tumor aggressiveness
Those with prostate cancer or other types of cancers it seems should probably avoid
l-serine side effects don’t seem too bad:
High doses could lead to increased anxiety or restlessness.
I did find the following on l-serine which folks with ibd, colitis and crohn’s might want to avoid
“The gut microbiota is believed to play a critical role in inflammation in Crohn’s disease (CD). Adherent–invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) often colonize the intestinal mucosa of CD patients. AIEC colonization may promote intestinal inflammation in CD patients. We have found that AIEC prefers to use the amino acid L-serine for growth in the inflamed gut. As dietary proteins are a major source of L-serine in the gut lumen, withholding L-serine from the diet prevents the growth of AIEC in the gut of mice. These facts suggest that a diet deprived of L-serine may alleviate CD symptoms”
