L-Tyrosine question

The stuff makes my wife angry as a hornet, contrary to the published
effects. She'll have to try it and see. If it bothers her then she better
quit eating meat.

A friend of mine is planning to take 500mg a day of L-Tyrosine in order to
get a better tan when we go to the beach this summer. I checked this

stuff

out and while it does help your melanin for tanning, it can also act as an
anti-depressant. I told her this, and she told me to investigate more.

Is this stuff safe to take? She has never suffered from depression and
isn't on any medication, so would taking this pill cause mood-swings or

any

other ill effects?

Thanks for your reply. Can you tell me how many mg's a day your wife takes
(took)?

500-2000 mg per day. 2000mg in the A.M. once almost got my wife out of a 10
year job until we figured out what was causing it...LOL

For mood effects just keep trying more until you get the effect. For
L-phenylalinine, a precursor to tyrosine you will notice effects within 1/2
to 1 hour. BTW my wife thrives on this one???? She is a much better
personality on phenylalinine and her general health improves

Well, i've taken 8 grams of it with no effect, so i doubt that 500mg
would
have any effect.
