Amino Acids
One of the growing fields of holistic medicine is the use of amino acids to balance neurotransmitter levels. Amino acids are used by the brain to produce neurotransmitters. This allows one to influence brain chemistry with specific amino acid use. Laboratory tests are available that measure amino acid levels in the body. In addition, newer urinary tests allow for the testing of body neurotransmitter levels. This type of testing helps guide doctors in the most effective treatments involving amino acids.

Suck on a lozenge after each meal or as needed. It is also available in capsule form. Take 500 to 1000 mg after each meal.
SAFETY
This herb is extremely safe. However, avoid taking medications at the exact same time; they should be taken at least one hour apart.
