D-phenylalanine (enkephalinase inhibitor)
Interesting substance, its one of the few dextro (right-spinning optical isomer) amino acids that you can process or something.
I think its fascinating because its purportedly an endorphin reuptake enkephalinase inhibitor? or something so its potentially quasi-opioidergic. I’m not sold on the notion its legit but its definitely a provocative idea.

all taken at once
I beg your finest pardon. That’s my secret recipe to success.
+1 for L-theanine though, it’s one of my favorite supplements. Although, more than once I’ve had to explain to someone that it’s not a Spanish word (“el theanine”).

Wouldn’t it be el L-teanino? Haha
Tryptophan. It is a biochemical precursor for important neurotransmitters, vitamins and hormones such as melatonin, serotonin, and niacin. There happens to be very high concentrations of it in milk and eggs, both of which I love a lot. It can have sedating effects and make you feel chilled out!
I am a fan of tryptophan!
MSG because it’s delicious.
This feels like one of those “is water wet?” pseudo-paradoxes.
Is MSG actually tasty or does it make other things tasty while not actually being tasty itself?
definitely A. Eat a big spoonful sometime.
The video of the soon-to-be-very-disappointed kid eating a spoonful of drinking chocolate powder just played in my head. And oh, there goes a cinnamon challenge one as well.
I think I’ll pass.
no, no. I promise you that it’s delicious. it’s like biting into a ball of miso.
Probably plain L-phenylalanine, since it’s the precursor to phenethylamine, the body’s natural amphetamine.
Have you taken l- or dl-phenylalanine?
Public schools and religious college failed me. I do not have a favorite amino acid.
Cysteine, because it makes proteins stable.
Alanine. No baroque ornamentation, just the beauty of simplicity. A timeless classic.
Also, when made of moly-mod it can stand up and looks like a giant robot.

Tryptophan because it helps you be happy and sleepy.
Is that what the brain makes after sex?
I think you get it from eating turkey.
…After-sex turkey
Glutamine makes mouths happy!
As a pirate, my favorite amino acid is arrrrr-genine 😁
Metionine, because everything starts of it.
Lysine, because ingen tried to use it to control dinosaur populations.
I also give it to my cats for immune support
Because surf rock aliens with a theremin are awesome
Proline because it’s kinky.
