Hi. I'm no expert, but from what I've read, aminos can be taken at the same time. Also, aminos should be taken twenty minutes before or 90 minutes after a meal in which you eat protein otherwise the protein in the food will compete with the amino and the amino may not get to the brain. Another thing, I think that L-Tyrosine also elevates or works on norepiphedrine as well as dopamine. It can be activating, so it is not a good idea to take it late in the day.
