In reply to Re: Lars, Linkadge or Netch? Dose glycine taurine?, posted by Alvin on September 5, 2007, at 16:08:37
Alvin, I actually recommend all of them. All have stimulating effects without the stress factor. I think the one helping me the least is probably glycine but I may be wrong, since glycine is the last AA I added it's kind of hard to tell.
