NOW Foods – L-Tyrosine
Pharmaceutical Grade
Healthy Glandular Function
Supports Mental Alertness
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.

All three people in my household using this product noticed an improvement in focus after the first use. I decided to try L-tyrosine after reading Dr. Ben Lynch’s book on “dirty” genes and realizing that we could have an epigenetic polymorphism that negatively impacts dopamine production. A very useful addition. Thank you Dr Lynch, and thank you Ecosupplements!

use it in my pre-workout drink. It gives me energy but also helps with mood and anxiety. I added it to my husband’s water and noticed that it helps him reduce his stress at work. It’s a bit grainy, but the benefits outweigh that. It is a high quality powder for sure.

It does not contain any additives. I can easily change the dosage if I need to. my mom has hypothyroidism so this amino acid works great for her. She gets more energy for the day. I also give her iodine (she needs several drops). I give l-thyrosine in the morning in a glass of water, 30 minutes before the meal. I like my review if it’s helpful.

the l-tyrosine ingredient doesn’t seem to work for me (at least on its own). maybe it needs to be added to other things. personally I did not see any advantage. as always with NOW the quality and packaging are good. I like the powdered version because it’s easy to mix with other ingredients.

I use Tyrosine Powder as a pre-workout because I can’t tolerate most of the extra ingredients they usually come with, as well as Now Pure Taurine Powder and Ginseng. L-Tyrosine is helping me a lot in reducing (and in fact completely stopping) the onset of brain fog due to multiple sclerosis and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. My mental fatigue is better and I use it mostly on days when I need to use mental energy (like reading, understanding important things…). It has made all the difference in my independence as I no longer need home care services (my cognitive issues include executive dysfunction, I need help understanding the steps to accomplish any task like bathing or dressing myself). A lifesaver for my brain!

It even works when added to coffee, it seems, and gives me a good mood. Also works in other ways. Kind of sweet taste, some take it under the tongue. Useful for the thyroid, cheaper than powder and dissolves easily. NOW Foods is a high integrity, high quality brand, and the powders are economical. Take 3 times a day, not as powerful as some but cheaper.

now taking tyrosine for 2-3 years already, just to try in powder form. now, as usual, there is good quality and decently priced ingredients. in powder form on days when I don’t like to take pills to avoid large sizes. tyrosine is good for my mood and my thyroid, and can be positive energy.

This product is a supplement intended to improve health, immunity, quality of life, well-being and mood. I bought it out of curiosity after reading “Vitamin” in the title of the search results. It has fulfilled some essential needs that I had until now: a boost of energy and an elimination of fatigue due to long flights and stress.

Tyrosine is called the “mood hormone” because it is involved in the production of melanin, dopamine and norepinephrine. The lack of tyrosine in the body affects the level of norepinephrine and leads to depression. Tyrosine is important for the normal functioning of the adrenal glands, the pituitary gland of the thyroid gland. It is taken in the morning on an empty stomach.

I bought this l-tyrosine (amino acid) powder for my wife who was suffering from depression. She opted for the Rx drugs instead. So I started taking a small dose with my evening vitamin drink. The first effect of the amino was awesome: it literally made me smile. I felt very good. I still take it at night.
