<p>Are Beta alanine, carnitine, leucine, Isoleucine, Valine etc. worth supplementing?</p>

<p>I think glycine is worth supplementing, especially if you don't regularly consume glycine-rich foods. Please see <a href="http://flare8.net/health/doku.php/nutrients#amino_acids" rel="nofollow">http://flare8.net/health/doku.php/nutrients#amino_acids</a></p>

<p>I think it depends on how much protein your eating and if your doing IF or not. If your eating alot of protein it might be overkill and wasted money. However if your doing IF like the LeanGains protocol then you are going to train fasted and its recommended to take amino's before you train. I take Xtend pre workout in fasted training days. Rest of the time I get more then enough aminos from my whole food protein sources.</p> <p>IF is Intermittent Fasting (www.leangains.com)</p>

<p>Sort of related...in Robb Wolf's seminar in Boston, he recommended 400-600mg l-carnitine and 200-400mg alpha lipoic acid together on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. He said that in his experience, it is something that many people can find useful. His slides said that this combination "=ESPRESSO!!!". I find that it has helped with morning energy and that I have been ingesting less caffeine since supplementing this way.</p>

<p>I've found Leucine + Carnitine during a fast to be beneficial for getting an extra "boost" on leanness. I'd say it's a waste for someone who has a lot to lose because there are far better things to spend money on, but for those dialed in and looking for small boosts, this has worked for me.</p>

<p>A good read might be the Mood Cure. This book details the use of amino acids for the treatment of things like depression, ADD, etc. </p>

<p>I tried the Carnitine + Alpha Lipoic Acid + 24 ounces of Bulletproof Coffee 2 hours before an inter-company job interview today.</p> <p>I might have a new position in a few weeks...+1000!</p>
