D-phenylalanine (enkephalinase inhibitor)
Interesting substance, its one of the few dextro (right-spinning optical isomer) amino acids that you can process or something.
I think its fascinating because its purportedly an endorphin reuptake enkephalinase inhibitor? or something so its potentially quasi-opioidergic. I’m not sold on the notion its legit but its definitely a provocative idea.

Probably plain L-phenylalanine, since it’s the precursor to phenethylamine, the body’s natural amphetamine.

Metionine, because everything starts of it.
