If you look at the lit, semen has a high content of amino acidas that are key to our optimal functioning. These amino acids are supplemented by people doing intense workouts in protein drinks because they are used by intense exercise too.
The highest 3 amino acids in human semen are in descending order Serine, Glutamine, and Glutamic acid. See table below:

So it is a very mixed bag. So i am trying the aminos in pure form, starting with L Glutamine. Not large quantities. And it is helping so much in days far from O. I also have CFS. people with CFS fuel their energy wiith amino acids. This has been extensively documented. Why? The preferred oxygen pathway is dampened. So CFSers are very low in Glutamine and other aminos that can be used as fuel for that reason. So low that the body starts breaking down muscle to get at them.
I noticed before that when I took Glutamine in days far from O, O days were better.
I am re-starting this test. I stopped momentarily because taking it in O days helped, but turned me into a meat eating machine hard to satiate. I ate with desperation. I needed more fuel desperately. Unpleasant.
That hinted to me maybe needing a lot more than only the 250 mg 4 times a day I found useful, and/or that I needed other aminos.
So I ordered Serine. The one that tops the list in human semen. If you look at the benefits of Serine it makes sense that being low on it would cause many of POIS symptoms.
See a blurp from a seller on its purported benefits below:
%u201C L Serine is an essential amino acid that makes up brain proteins and nerve coverings. L Serine supplements may offer many benefits to those deficient in the amino acid due to it%u2019s vital role in the body. Serine aids in the production of immunoglobins, helps produce tryptophan, and is vital in the production of Serotonin. Supplementing with L-Serine may offer a number of benefits including support of cognitive function, mood, emotional stability, sleep, and the immune system. L-Serine is naturally found in many food products such as meat, soy, and dairy. %u201C
So far just with Glutamine I feel happier, have more mental stamina, much better socially and my muscles feel naturally strong and have far less fatigue. Supplementing amino acids in CFS is not a new idea. Just search for ME-relief.
The body prioritizes reproduction. So our semen will get replaced first. If for some reason our bodies do not have enough of these amino acids, they get reallocated to semen replacement. Everything else be darned. This may explain the cumulative effect of multiple Os.
Anyway. Has anybody else tried this very simple approach to get our bodies well supplied of these key amino acids that we lose in ejaculation?
Before you try Serine talk to your doctor specially if you are taking antidepressants.
