Amino Complete

I have ordered Amino Complete from MWO.
It states to "take with juice."
Does anyone know if Amino Acids have to be taken with juice for maximum benefit?
I'm sure there's a reason it says this I just was interested in the science behind it. Do they react more efficiently with the Vitamin C in juice or what???

I googled and the majority of what I came up with is that an empty stomach is best for Aminos. Perhaps the juice suggestion is for those with sensitive stomachs so they don't get nauseous??? Here is one blurb I found:

Amino acids compete with each other for entry to the brain. Therefore, to avoid this competition, amino acid supplements should be taken on an empty stomach.

Thanks for the info! I will not worry about taking it with juice.

does the amino acid mix from MWO have enough tryptophan to relieve depression you think? i mean , if tryptophan would help your depression in the first place... which i think it would because im pretty sure sereton is my problem and not dopamine .

I am reading the label of Amino Complete and it does not give specific amounts of the amino acids. It says "This product contains a blalanced blend of the following..." and L-Tryptophan is one of them.

me145, you can get tryptophan (or 5-HTP) separately and take it at bedtime. It is supposed to be great for sleep. You can do this in addition to the Aminos.

the aminos really help with craving and brain function, they seem to take a bit of time to notice, but they make a difference. I am noticing at work that I am making less mistakes and my memory and mood swings are a bit more under control.
If it;s a placebo effect, who cares, it works. laying of the devil juice is also very helpful.

oh, by the way, soccermom, I do believe there is a reason to take them with juice. Something about the carbohydrates. But I'm not sure how important it is.
