I read that amino's COMPETE to cross the blood-brain barrier. There is only so much that can cross at any given pass. The more particles that are permeable to the membrane the more that will compete to cross. If they don't cross they are in danger of being removed by the kidneys or absorbed somewhere else.
Taking an amino by itself, no other aminos or food for at least 15 minutes should ensure maximum absorption.

> I was under the impression that not ALL the amino acids' absorption (er, was it blood-brain-barrier transport? [dangit my memeory is so bad]) was affected by others. For instance, I knew that tryptophan, phenylalanine, and tyrosine affect each others absorption, and others, but.... yeah.
