How should I take L-tyrosine?
Capsules
Take the capsule with a glass of water. The number of capsules in the daily serving is stated on the packaging.
Powder
- Measure the serving using the scoop supplied with the product.
- Mix it into water or another drink.
L-tyrosine is less soluble in water than many other amino acids, so a small amount of sediment may remain. This is normal - simply stir the drink again before consuming it.
When to take it
Many manufacturers recommend taking L-tyrosine earlier in the day, sometimes on an empty stomach or between meals. Follow the directions on the specific product.
How much to take
Follow the manufacturer dosage and do not increase it on your own. If you use a combination product, consider the total amount of tyrosine from all supplements you take.
When to seek medical advice
Speak to a doctor if you have a thyroid condition or high blood pressure, take MAO inhibitor antidepressants, levodopa or thyroid hormones, or during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
