There's an absolutely killer nutrient -- an amino acid -- which everyone from the best athletes to the most hardcore computer programmers use to absolutely double their performance. It helps the average become better, and the better become the best... at whatever they do. For instance, winner's of the 1998 US Super Bowl, the Denver Broncos, religiously use this nutrient. It's one of their 'secret weapons'. Yet it's fully safe, natural, and of course, legal.

While it can increase your performance at everything you do, it also has many other functions. You see, it's one of the only things your brain uses to manufacture certain essential chemicals that control how well your brain and body work. So the use of this nutrient, because it boosts the function of your brain (the very seat of your existence), improves a great many areas of your life.

Here's some information on how this nutrient works, and it's benefits:

* This nutrient is part of the raw material used by the brain to create and replenish the neurotransmitters noradrenaline (which is the brain's version of adrenaline), and dopamine. These are "excitatory" neurotransmitters which your brain uses to feel happy and alert.

Stimulants, like caffeine, serve to release but not replenish neurotransmitters like these. After awhile, stimulants are like pushing the gas pedal to the floor in a car where the gas tank is empty... it just won't do any good.  This particular nutrient is a way of 'filling up' up the tank.

* In one clinical study, this nutrient was given to patients suffering from mild to heavy depression. Within 2 weeks after the study began, most of the patients experienced a near complete relief from their depression. After the 2 week period, upon continued use of this nutrient, their  improvement in mood and feelings of well being continued to gradually increase.

Personally, this nutrient has been extremely effective in relieving my depression and generally brightening my mood. Before I found out about this nutrient, I had often experienced bouts of extreme mental 'darkness', with no apparent way out. I'd go as far as saying that this nutrient saved my life. As you may be aware, if you've ever suffered from depression, it's a significant barrier to being irresistible (to say the least).

Whether you'd like to relieve bad feelings, or just increase already existent good feelings - even if you only achieve results half as good as mine were - your new happy shiny mood will prove to be a severe attraction for others.

* It will increase your levels of energy, which directly effects your passion and your ability to be sexually attractive. Energy is irresistible. Increasing your  energy levels will also vastly decrease the amount of stress you perceive when you exercise.

* Many ex-abusers of stimulants, such as cocaine and speed, have found the effects this nutrient provides to be a superior replacement to their harmful drugs. This nutrient gives you some of the better effects of these illegal drugs -- i.e., making you feel good about yourself (cocaine is often used by people to give them an 'artificial ego'), giving you energy, etc. On the other hand, because of the way the nutrient works -- it's stimulating, but it itself is not a stimulant, as it works in a different way entirely -- it has none of the 'letdown' or 'burnout' associated with stimulants (even caffeine). It can't! It's just a nutrient!

* This nutrient will help you to control your appetite and weight in at least two ways.

One use your body has for this nutrient is the creation of a chemical called cholecystokinin (CCK). CCK sends a signal to your brain telling it that your stomach is 'full' -- that you've eaten enough, and it's time to stop. If you overeat, this nutrient will significantly curb this tendency. I've found that it's been far easier, while using this nutrient, to have a choice in the matter of what I eat. It seems much easier to consciously choose healthier foods, than to have super strong cravings do the choosing for me.

Secondly, this nutrient is involved in the manufacturing of bodily chemicals which increase your body's own thermogenesis. Thermogenesis is the scientific word for your body's heat generation process. Body heat is what burns most of our calories. The fact that we're warm blooded -- i.e., that we make our own heat -- is why we can eat so much compared to cold blooded creatures, like snakes. Snakes don't eat daily. Hell, most of them can even survive if they just eat twice a year. You'll notice that most overweight people complain of being 'cold' all the time. Case in point.

Personally, I've noticed that it's much easier to lose weight and keep it down while using this nutrient -- especially that last 10-15 pounds that seems to be such a pain in the ass for everyone.

* Studies have shown this nutrient to increase your assertiveness – your ability to approach people, handle, and control situations. 

God, this a fantastic effect. It's really a tremendous boon in your ability to attract the opposite sex. Like many other depressed people, I also used to be shy. After using this nutrient for a week or so, I felt good enough to approach and talk to people again.

Because it does increase your assertiveness -- your "confront", if you will -- this nutrient is specifically not recommended for those who have aggressive disorders -- it may make you too aggressive. If you have overly strong aggressive tendencies, or have been diagnosed as 'psychotic', please consult with your doctor(s) before using this nutrient.

* You will avoid the bloodshot eyes that can result from deficiency of this nutrient (say, from eating an overly restrictive vegetarian diet). And in some people (like me; yay!), it even makes the eyes brighter, which is a very sexually alluring effect.

This almost magical nutrient is called 'phenylalanine'. As I stated before, it's an amino acid; one of 22 known amino acids. Amino acids are something you eat every day, in the form of protein. The word protein just refers to amino acids that come in a group. When you eat a steak, for instance, you're not just eating phenylalanine, you're also eating leutine, lysine, glutamine, this-a-nine, that-a-nine. You're eating a whole bunch of amino acids. You actually get totally different effects by taking this amino acid alone than when you get it in food, precisely because the amino acids in food come in a whole bunch.

Now, this filtering type phenomenon I've just described presents a problem. There are only so many of these transport molecules -- these little amino acid ships, if you prefer-- to take amino acids to your brain... so all of the amino acids in your bloodstream compete for the limited number of ships. It's like people pining for a ship to a better country -- only so can get through.

Actually, to get the full effects I've listed above, you should also take vitamins B-6 and C with the phenylalanine. Vitamin B-6 is kind of like a 'trigger' or 'command' nutrient. It tells your brain to start converting other nutrients -- like phenylalanine -- into neurotransmitters. Your body uses vitamin C as a building block for certain chemicals. In fact, it's also used in part to make the neurotransmitters noradrenaline and dopamine that I talked about early. So you should be sure to take plenty of Vitamin C with your phenylalanine, as well.

500 mg phenylalanine
25 or 50mg Vitamin B-6
1000 mg Vitamin C

Take this mixture on an empty stomach, being careful never to use more than two and a half grams of phenylalanine a day, your highest limit.

Another way you can take phenylalanine and the proper 'nutrient co-factors' is with pre-made mixtures. That's what what the Denver Broncos use. They're sponsored by a company called  Experimental and Applied Sciences (EAS). EAS has a mental fitness product called NeuroGain, which is supplied in unlimited quantity to the Broncos. Unfortunately, NeuroGain is designed to only really be effective when you're using other EAS products. It doesn't contain adequate amounts of vitamin C or B-6.

Their pre-made formulas continue to be updated over the years and have been the most effective I've ever tried -- both in terms of results and cost. I remember spending more than $100 a month on high quality forms of phenylalanine, B-6, and vitamin C. With Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw's products, a single day's dosage now costs me around 50 cents -- or $15 a month. (When I'm working on anything important, I actually take 2-3 doses a day. Even at this level of use, it's still cheaper than what a single dosage used to cost me!) That's much more reasonable... And much more effective. Gives me a lot more money to sink into other areas of my health and well-being.

Their combinations also include other subtle, but supportive co-nutrients which simply give better results than the basic phenylalanine, C, and B-6 combination alone. It would've been far too complex for me to have factored these in by myself. Additionally, they insist on using only the highest quality ingredients in their products. Their vitamin C, for instance, comes from pharmaceutical producer Hoffman-Laroche. It's pure white, 100% ascorbic acid (impurities in vitamin C make it off-white, sometimes even giving it a yellowish tinge). Most other producers of vitamin C and other nutrients put cost before quality, so their products contain a ton of contaminants, like a cheap street drug would. By using only the best raw materials available, LSS's products have a more certain, almost pharmaceutical like (meaning that they work -- not that they have negative side effects) effect on you.

The phenylalanine based product I now most prefer from them is called 'Mellow Blast'. It comes in the form of a 'smart drink' powder. I simply take a tablespoon of it every morning, throw it into my blender with some water and ice, and gulp it down.  It gives me something infinitely better to wake up to than coffee.
