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.
