The Amino Acids in Payarmin: Eight Lines at the Tail of the Blend
The amino acids in Payarmin are eight label lines at the tail of the 200 mg blend: L-glutamine, L-tyrosine, L-arginine, beta-alanine, GABA, L-ornithine, L-tryptophan and L-carnitine. None has a printed amount, and each can hold at most about 14 mg per 1 ml serving. Studied doses are grams.

The tail of the blend
Which amino acids are in Payarmin?
The amino acids in Payarmin are L-glutamine, L-tyrosine, L-arginine, beta-alanine, GABA, L-ornithine, L-tryptophan and L-carnitine. They take places 14 to 22 of the blend, except 18, a licorice compound.
The label prints tryptophan as “L-Typtophan”. We type it as printed.
Late places mean small shares. See the ingredient list.
The ceilings
How much of each amino acid can one serving hold?
At most about 14 mg of any of them per 1 ml serving. Place 14 caps L-glutamine near 14 mg, and place 22 caps L-carnitine near 9 mg (200 mg divided by the place) (21 CFR 101.36 (eCFR)).
Studies used far more, in grams a day.
Carnitine at 9 mg is about 0.5% of 2 g. Glutamine is under 0.1% of 15 g (Exercise & Athletic Performance per NIH ODS) (Carnitine per NIH ODS).
Label and research
What do the label profiles for the amino acids show?

L-tryptophan
Is L-tryptophan safe with antidepressants?
Ask your prescriber first. Sources say L-tryptophan needs medical advice with MAO inhibitors, tramadol, dextromethorphan, meperidine, sedatives and serotonin-raising supplements (L-tryptophan per Drugs.com).
In 1989, an outbreak of eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome was linked to manufactured L-tryptophan. Nearly all cases traced to one maker (Eosinophilia-Myalgia Syndrome per NORD).
That is history, not a finding about this product.
L-carnitine
What does L-carnitine do?
L-carnitine is an amino acid derivative the body makes, and healthy people generally do not need a supplement (Carnitine per NIH ODS).
Studies in type 2 diabetes used about 2 to 3 g a day and saw some improvement in fasting glucose (Carnitine per NIH ODS).
About 3 g a day can cause nausea, cramps, diarrhea and a fishy odor (Carnitine per NIH ODS). Payarmin caps it near 9 mg.

View packsHidden amounts
Why does the label show no amount for L-glutamine or GABA?
U.S. rules let a proprietary blend print only its total weight and its ingredients in descending order, so no Payarmin blend line has its own amount (21 CFR 101.36 (eCFR)).
Glutamine studies used about 15 to 45 g a day (Exercise & Athletic Performance per NIH ODS).
We found no checked source on GABA absorption or on doses for GABA, L-tyrosine or L-ornithine.
Safety
Who should check with a doctor before taking these amino acids?
Anyone pregnant or nursing, under 18, or with a known medical condition should consult a physician first, as the label directs.
L-arginine can lower blood pressure and may add to blood pressure medicine (Arginine per MSKCC).
Keep taking every prescribed medicine as directed.

FAQ
What do people ask about the amino acids in Payarmin?
One to start with: Which amino acids are in Payarmin? Plus 5 more answered below.
Each answer gives the plain reply first, then the reasoning and a citation where available.
Which amino acids are in Payarmin?
Eight lines: L-glutamine, L-tyrosine, L-arginine base, beta-alanine, GABA, L-ornithine HCL, L-tryptophan (printed L-Typtophan) and L-carnitine base. They hold places 14 to 22, except 18.
Is L-tryptophan safe with antidepressants?
Ask your prescriber or pharmacist first. Sources say L-tryptophan needs medical advice with MAO inhibitors, tramadol and serotonin-raising supplements (L-tryptophan per Drugs.com). The label names no antidepressant rule.
What does L-carnitine do?
Carnitine helps the body use fat for energy, and the body makes its own (Carnitine per NIH ODS). Studies in type 2 diabetes used 2 to 3 g a day. The Payarmin label caps it near 9 mg.
Is GABA absorbed when taken as a supplement?
We found no checked source that answers this, so we make no claim. GABA sits 19th of 22, which caps it near 10 mg per 1 ml serving.
Why is there no L-glutamine amount?
U.S. labeling rules let a proprietary blend print its total weight and ingredient order without single amounts (21 CFR 101.36 (eCFR)). L-glutamine is 14th, so it holds at most about 14 mg per 1 ml.
Is L-arginine safe with blood pressure medicine?
Ask your doctor first, because L-arginine can lower blood pressure and may add to blood pressure medicine (Arginine per MSKCC). It sits 16th of 22, so the label caps it near 12 mg.
