Many of us find the coffee no longer gets us going. Caffeine, and other stimulants can deplete neurotransmitters and other essential nutrients making their effects less and increasing the potential negative effects. Phenyalanine, taken on an empty stomach first thing in the morning can restore the neurotransmitters increasing energy and focus. It often causes one to complete lingering tasks and improves energy and mood. However, it must be used with caution and usually well below recommended levels with breaks as it can increase BP significantly. For best results this should be followed by vitamin co-factors C and B6. If you really want to crank things up even more, choline or phosphatidyl choline will do it.
Many are also iodine deficient. A drop or two rubbed on the wrists usually solves this and provides a subtle boost without jitters. But, too much is not good. If you consume common white enriched table salt, (not recommended) you might not need more.
Note: I am not a doctor. I can't recommend using these substances, but personally, I have found them useful. This info comes from "Life Extension: A Practical Scientific Approach" and respected practitioners. Although, these are naturally occurring in our foods, they are either deficient or act significantly differently when isolated.
Also, Phenyalanine comes in two forms: DL and L isomers. The DL is synthetic and is a bit milder while also possessing possible pain relief. With both forms, I would recommend starting with 1/4 the normal dose found in encapsulated product. This substance has been used in cases of cocaine abuse where the adrenals have been ravaged and neurotransmitters depleted.
Phenylalanine can also be extremely toxic to people with PKU, but that is something you would know shortly after birth, so it should not be an issue.
