MyProtein sent me the amino acid breakdown on their vegan blend prprotein powder. Here it is compared to the Jarrow. What do you think? The higher amount of tyrosine in the MyProtein stood out to me in particular. I'm more interested in this than in the additives.

I took a tyrosine supplement some years ago and couldn't tolerate it, but I don't know whether it was the tyrosine or the Vitamin B6 that it also contained.

There is some info on Examine.com about tyrosine.

A lot of people report problems with tyrosine, that's why I'm cautious. I think I'll stick to the Jarrow one for a while and see how I get on.
