Hey thanx alot for your input. I am interested to know how ur trial of of Glycine goes. I am a big tea drinker, and have alot of faith in L theanine, taurine is another i had in mind. My main concern is there slight ALMOST stimulant properties.
My first idea was to try GABA, its still on the cards but with little evidence of it crossing the blood brain barrier im really not too sure.Do u have any experience with GABA?

> A recent study of 29 subjects with “relatively high trait anxiety” showed that dual supplementation with L-lysine and L-arginine (3 g each/day) caused a normalization of hormonal responses during psychosocial stress — i.e., the pattern of stress-related hormones that high-anxiety people experience during stressful experiencies (such as public speaking) was modified by the supplements so that it resembled that experienced by low-anxiety people."
