Tyrosine

[Martina]

Hello,

I'd like to take Tyrosine to support my sluggish thyroid. I see that many brands offer two forms of tyrosine: L-Tyrosine and Acetyl l Tyrosine. The latter seems to be more bioavailable but with a lower absorption rate

Which form is anyone taking?

Thank you

hi, after verifying all tyrosine are L-acetyl-tyrosîne. I’m taking 2 x 500 or 600 mg ( depending of the brand) of L-tyrosine mid morning since few years, 2 hours after my cynomel (t3) and Metavive II. It makes a real difference on my mood and energy.

What is tyrosine for? Can that be taken if taking Armour thyroid?

[1eskimo in reply to Susieg1]

Yes you can take both. Just not at the same time.

Neurotransmitter Support

L-Tyrosine is a conditionally indispensable amino acid required for the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline, as well as for the skin pigment, melanin. Noradrenaline (norepinephrine) and adrenaline (epinephrine) are the main actors in the body’s response to acute stress and, along with dopamine, help to support a positive mood and mental alertness. In addition, L-Tyrosine is especially critical for the normal function of the thyroid gland.
