L-Tyrosine is an essential amino acid which is required for the production of thyroid hormone. Thyodine, our major thyroid support product, contains only 30 mg. of Tyrosine per tablet. Therefore, customers taking Thyodine may wish to supplement with 1-3 capsules of L-Tyrosine per day, particularly if you feel that you need an extra boost. L-Tyrosine has been found to assist in optimizing thyroid hormone levels and enhancing mood, concentration, and productivity, as well as weight loss through healthy metabolism.*

L-Tyrosine is used for mood enhancement and stabilization, and to increase coping ability, energy, sex drive, and metabolism. It can also improve endurance under stress and is effective as an appetite suppressant. When taken properly, L-Tyrosine can assist a sluggish thyroid and aid the dieter in losing excess pounds.*

L-Tyrosine is a precursor of the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Its effect on the neurotransmitters (beneficial bio-chemicals produced in the body and brain) is thought to be responsible for its effect on mood and the ability to tolerate various types of stress.*

Dosage: Take 1-3 capsules daily with some juice, preferably on an empty stomach between meals. L-Tyrosine can increase metabolism. Therefore, if you notice that you feel energized but slightly "hyper", reduce dosage.*

Contraindications: Do not take L-Tyrosine with MAO inhibitors. MAO inhibitors include the following: Atapryl, Eldepryl, Parnate, Isocarboxazid, Marplan, Nardil, Phenelzine, Selegiline, Selpak, and Tranylcypramine. Do not use this product if you have hyperthyroidism or melanomas (skin cancers).*

"I must tell you about the amazing result to my illness that has baffled the doctors for many years. I have been taking L-Tyrosine for two weeks and feel like a new person, I had to give up my job due to extreme fatigue and Fibromyalgia, but since taking the above supplements I feel amazing. My husband and myself can not thank you enough. You have given me my life back." Lynne, Wales, UK
