Hi blue,
The amino acids included are leucine, isoleucine and valine...I havent been on it longer than a few days so I can't say if it will last...
But I can't help but think that this type of therapy should really not be 'mono'... i think its a great adjunct to more conservative treatments...
I also can't help but think that time of consumption matters as well... I like to consume this drink on an empty stomach prior to eating a meal to maximimize absorption...
Here's links to the two studies demonstrating the validity of this protein drink:

This one is free to see! just click on the button on top right hand cornerIts seems to have evidence to substiante it, such that the Stanley mental health group is helping to develop it as a product for commercial sale..
