> djmmm posted taking the mega-amino acid. It was my understanding that this caused competition for penetration of the more important precursors into the brain? I've always read for instance you take the tyrosine on an empty stomach?
> What is the scoop?You're not supposed to eat protein foods when you take L-tyrosine because as you noted John amino acids supposedly compete to get to your brain. (I heard the same thing you did about the amino acid combinations that are sold).
I have read that you can take the L-tyrosine with juice and maybe some bread or something, but I think anything works faster on an empty stomach as long as it doesn't make you sick. The l-tyrosine didn't bother me but I can't take B vitamins on an empty stomach so took them later. I've also heard conflicting advice about which is better--taking the B with the amino acid or separately.
