What effect do high concentrations of certain amino acids (in my case glutamine, glycine, and asparagine) have on sex drive and libido? I have read very mixed things and was hoping for some guidance from you people.
My cardinal problem is a lack of sex drive. No morning wood, takes to long to cum, weak erections.
Most recently I had an amino acids blood test (12 hour fast and no supplements for a few weeks before hand). All my amino acids were roughly mid range except for:
>GLUTAMINE: 778 [normal: 428-747 umol/L]
>GLYCINE: 340 [normal: 122-322 umol/L]
>ASPARAGINE: 68 [normal: 31-64 umol/L]
previous to this blood test I've had lots of others. In no particular order I've had thyroid panel, androgen panel, estrogen panel, minerals (zinc, copper, calcium, etc.), vitamin D, and many other things tested. My thyroid tests showed me to be slightly hypothyroid. I brought my thyroid numbers to mid range and felt no sexual improvment. My estrogens were upper mid range, but my attempts to address this (Zin, Vitamin E, low fat diet) made no difference in sexual ability.
My question to the great minds of Raypeat: would normalizing these amino acid values help my sex drive?
