* L-Tyrosine - 2.5 grams per day
* Arginine - 3 grams per day

I take 4 grams a day of tyrosine. Now that you say it, i think Im holding my tan better since I've started all the tyrosine.

Arginine.....hrm.......3 grams in the morning/preWO/and before bed is what i've read. i dont take it so I dont really know for sure. I have a freind taken 3 in the am and 3 pre and he's doing pretty good.

What effect do you experience with tyrosine? Trying to gain a better idea how it is beneficial.

Tan is pretty much the same as usual, just seems to maintain darkness a lot longer. Other effects for me when I run it are usually a slight increase in awarness and sense of well being. Works great with ALCAR and stim of choice.

Great! My BIG order is due here Monday. Have heard the Tyrosine makes a stim such as RPM much more intense.

i believe L-tyrosine is a precursor to epinephrine and nor epinephrine, ie neurotransmitters. so i would say yes to some degree, although rather mild in my experiences.

Sounds impressive; should work well with my stack then.

Is your dosage typically 3-4grams preworkout?

Is it more effective to break up the dosage instead of taking it entirely for preworkout?

Looks like my order should be here tomorrow so can't wait to start my new stack. Based on the feedback received so far:

* Acetyl-L-Carnitine - 4 grams per day
* L-Tyrosine - 4 grams per day
* Arginine - 3 grams per day
