men's health and amino acids

I have talked with two health professionals about amino acids like L-tyrosine... they have both told me that they are for people involved in strength training and vigorous excercise progams to help build muscle, however everyone says they help... how do they help? I am very curious because I need something to help me get my body reconditioned since detoxing?

I bought the amino acids for my wd's and don't know when to take them. Any idea?

hello to all again. about the amino acids, is that rough price of $4 a bottle a recent price and if so in what part of the country? we don't have a gnc around anymore so i went to Mrs. Greens (health food store) and CVS and they were going for 15-20 dollars per small bottle! i didn't buy because i figure i may be able to get them cheaper somewhere else. everything is pretty expensive here in NY compare to other states i've been to.

In June 2003 I had a major surgery to remove a carotid body tumor--located in the "Y" of the carotid artery in my left neck. It was the size of a pop can and not visible from looking at me.. I was 283 pounds, thought I had a fat neck. The Mayo doctors worked a long time to remove it as it was affecting my speech, breathing. I have several complications, with the 39 units of blood and fluids, my eye sight was damages..

You can get a 2lb can of Whey Protein powder at Walmart for 15$ that has all the amino acids you need. Blend 2 scoops with a banana, milk (I use almond) and some frozen berries. Drink twice a day. This is yummy, gives you the aminos, and NO PILLS! Feel better...You are doing this!

Hello all. I was wondering if I should continue to take the amino acids in the Thomas recipe if I am feeling better. I take the 5htp, l tyrosine, l-glutimine and omega 3 b-vit etc.... I dont want the horrid depression to come back. I dont know if its the aminos helping or just time. Any advise is appreciated. I am 37 days clean today. YAY!!!!

i was taking large quantities (the same as on the protocol page) of the aminos and although it really seemed to help with my mood as well as sleep and RLS, i kept getting nauseous for a few hours after taking them, and it seemed as though my diarrhea got worse. i kept thinking it was the WDs, but now that i am passed most of that and i still get an upset stomach, i decided to look into it.

t take any suboxone yesterday. got through a bit of a restless night, took 2mgs this morning. anyway, about the amino acids, are there any side effects to taking those large quantities? does it make you constipated or upset the stomach at all? and for the relaxing ones, can they make you tired? just wondering. i am struggling with fatigue more than anxiety at this point so i was wondering if all those stress reducing aminos would make my fatigue worse.

does anyone know if it is ok to take the amino acids while still tapering off the methadone im not sure

I have gathered all the Amino Acid things reccommended in your post in the Health Pages. I'm on Suboxone now and plan on tappering off this summer. Question: Do I start the Aminos now, or wait til I'm in the process of coming off the Sub. or when I'm totally off?

s suggested for liquification or volume specifically, but I know certain vitamins (like vitamin c and e) and amino acids like l-carnitine can help improve sperm count and function. There are also vitamins formulations out there, specifically formulated to help men's fertility. Best of luck to you!

I am tappering off of oxy with the help of my doctor. I have a few question I hope someone can answer. Anyway I was wondering if the amino acids would help me? Even though I am tappering. Also another question if this would help is there anything else that would help?

m asking because I have hep C (stage 0) and I work out regularly and the amino acids really benefit me muscle and energy wise.

It works better if you look up the stuff yourself and imprint it well .....the vitamins and supps make a big difference. Pay close attention to the amino acids.........

ve been doing some homework, and have seen several referances to Amino Acids. the problem here, is that I do not have alot of money, so if anyone could give advice as to the most important ones, or the ones that most helped you, that would be MOST appreciated! In the past, I couldn't make it, because of lack of sleep, and relentless weakness, and anxiety. SO tired of this battle. I just want to be ,"me", again for myself, and my family.

I have read so many posts from people in w/d and wanted to share again to try to help. I have been going through w/d from opiates and it really is hard but the amino acids and vitamins have helped. I went to the health store and bought the L-tyrosine 500mg and the L-Glutamine 500mg and today I had a lot more energy and the deep depression must be better because I laughed and smiled:) Twice a day I take those and the SAM-e, calcium, super b complex, 5-HTP, magnesuim and a multi vitamin.
