Lightbulb Nutrasweet (aspartame)

is composed of two amino acids.

Phenylalanine + aspartic acid.

Aspartate and glutamate both are neurostimulants.

Aspartate is less active than glutamate, but the receptor is
involved with pain perception.

And some consider phenylalanine a trigger for migraines:
