What's the deal with tyrosine which is often flagged in some of the alternatives literature. Did you, andrewb, and others try it to no positive effect or???
> Phenlyaline converts also to tyrosine, an amino acid which converts to dopamine. But, as anyone who has taken tyrosine can tell you, more tyrosine doesn’t mean a proportionate increase in dopamine pathway activity. The body has some mechanism(s) that limit the amount of dopamine that can be produced from the tyrosine that we eat.
