Tyrosine
Tyrosine is perhaps the most energizing amino acid because it helps to increase the neurotransmitter dopamine which gives us drive and motivation. Dopamine also helps to increase energy production and metabolism. Tyrosine can also help to increase CoQ10 which improves cellular energy and is cardio protective. The best way to use tyrosine is in the morning and before a workout. For most people, 1-2 grams is very noticeable. Only a small amount can benefit other stimulants like caffeine by making it easier for your adrenals to handle stimulants. Adrenals love tyrosine because it is a main amino acid used to make epinephrine and nor-epinephrine.
