Why is TETRAHYDROBIOPTERIN [BH4] so hard to find or purchase? IN MY OPINION More and more people and doctors are discovering the uses and benefits of BH4 and I believe there is a lot of research going on regarding its use. It is likely that a lot of BH4 is going to researchers for their research projects. In the end this will be good because published papers will finally be available to give proof positive as to the many benefits of BH4. Once the answers are in then some companies will produce BH4 and it will finally be more widely available.
