L argnine,l orthnine,l carthnine,l glutamine all posses either fat burning properties or muscle growth.
There is a big debate on whether doing so is A.worth it and has effect,B.Even safe.
For mental purposes many people will use tyrosine,l phenylinine,dlpa,and so on.
First the main thing to know is if you supplement aminos,use a site to get some info on it,i recomend GOOGLE GROUPS SMART DRUGS & NUTRIENTS,the archives there can answer many questions.
Second always remeber amino therapy should be cycled,since you are rasing certain building blocks you are lowering others,so you want to do usualy a 4 day on,4 day off cycle,use in between any protien as it will attatch to the protien chain and no longer be a single supplemented amino but rather just part of mere protein.
Keep an amino complex handy,so if u feel ill you can stock up on balancing out your system
I personaly agree with the previous poster,while some are useful to occasionly use,i.e taurine is very similiar to many mood stablizers,for the most part the body is getting what it needs through a good diet of amino acids so increasing them usualy ends up with a onset rush to be followed by a drop in mood and overall disappointment.
Id recomend finding a site or book which im sure are plenty,and reading on amino acid therapy and learning what each one does and how to supplement them safetly,good luck
