Wildflower: Here are some ideas from Mind Boosters. About halfway down the page, under Figure 13.1 on tyrosine and phenylalanine, I found the following paragraph:
"Be careful when you are adding either of these two amino acids to a regimen that includes other stimulants since the effects can be cumulative. Some of the nutrients that can act as stimulants include DMAE, CDP-choline, pantothenic acid, methyl donors, ALC, CoQ10, DHEA, pregnenolone, St. John’s wort, and Ginseng."
