In reply to protein bars on MAO'S. is it ok????, posted by ross on February 16, 2002, at 13:00:37
This is a bad idea because many of the protein bars add amino acids & thermogenics, sometimes in excessive doses, to their products.
These bars like MET-Rx might have the norepinephrine/dopamine precursors l-phenylalanine, l-tyrosine which may be dangerous for you. Also, I have seen many exercise products, especially protein shakes/weight gainers that have enough l-tyramine in a single serving to kill 10 elephants on Nardil for depression!
The only protein bar that you may be able to take is Powerbar since it doesn't appear that they add any extra amino acids to the protein already in there. But be sure to check the label carefully & e-mail Powerbar inc. if necessary.
Good luck & be careful,
