For Dietary Supplementation "Started taking this for ADHD paired with fish oil. I'm more focused and find that I don't need to rely on caffeine as much as I used to. I've found that I have heartburn if I don't eat quickly after taking it. I'm not experiencing the crash I did with FocusFactor. And my anxiety levels are reduced dramatically."

For Dietary Supplementation "I have MS and take L-Tyrosine 500 mg for brain focus. I just started 1 week ago. I seem more focused. I also take L-Arginine, Vitamin D 5000 IU, L-Lysine 500 mg, calcium, magnesium, and zinc 500 mg, multivitamins, apple cider pills, and Progesta-Care Complete. I currently take Diovan generic for hypertension, Gabapentin for nerve pain, and Zoloft. Was removed from MS meds a 1 yr and a half ago because I wasn't having flare-ups. So far so good."

For Dietary Supplementation "I started taking L-Tyrosine every day with OMEGA-3 and Phosphatidylserine. A week after, the results are great when it relates to focus, memory, and anxiety, but! But my jaw is tighter. And there is a lot of pressure in the face - jaw. (Similar to Ritalin) Anyone experienced anything similar?"

For Dietary Supplementation "I took L-Tyrosine for 2 months. I immediately noticed that my sleep improved significantly. I woke up fewer times in the night and had deeper sleep. I would wake up feeling refreshed rather than tired. No adverse side effects were noticed. I stopped taking this supplement until I spoke with my doctor about long-term use. When I stopped, my sleep rapidly deteriorated to what it was prior to taking L-Tyrosine. I'm waiting for my doctor's appointment and hoping I can resume taking it."

For Dietary Supplementation "Before taking this supplement, I researched it in depth for around two months, sure I understood the literature and wrote a paper which I tested by sending it for review at my local pharmacy and doctor's office with which I have a good relationship. After they were both satisfied that my going forward to take this supplement was based on sound reasoning, they were happy for me to continue as I had described I would. Regardless of any reason for trying this or any supplement, it's always the better route to go forward with at least the knowledge that those who might have to deal with a poor or negative result down the road will have a better understanding of the potential patient's reasoning and/or personality. So far, I've had only positive results and I'm over the moon that recently I received a phone call from the practice inquiring as to how I was faring with L-Tyrosine. There's nothing to dislike, and having the support of professional curiosity only gives added confidence."

For Dietary Supplementation "I've been taking L-Tyrosine at 150 mg per 1 kg of weight for over 7 years, as per my psychiatrist. I no longer suffer from any ADHD symptoms, and my Dupuytren's syndrome has stopped progressing. In addition, the damage is starting to reverse. I'll never stop taking it; I don't want to regress. It's also healed my 25-year-old corneal erosion due to more collagen production because tyrosine is the precursor to collagen, the same as dopamine, hence why it's beneficial for ADHD and many other psychiatric disorders."

"My memory is 95% better taking L-Tyrosine. I take 3 on an empty stomach in the morning with a full glass of water. The brand matters."
