Tyrosine for Mood and Thyroid Support
Tyrosine is an amino acid the body uses to make some of its key signaling chemicals, and it also plays a part in thyroid hormone. Pure Encapsulations says its l-Tyrosine "supports dopamine synthesis for emotional wellness and cognitive function."*
Who I Reach For This With
- Patients carrying a heavy mental or physical load whose plan includes neurotransmitter support
- People where thyroid support is part of the picture
- Anyone who wants a single-ingredient tyrosine free from unnecessary binders and fillers
- Protocols where I am adjusting dose in steps from 1 up to 4 capsules a day
What Makes This Form Different
- l-Tyrosine (free-form) 500 mg per size 00 vegetarian capsule, a single amino acid
- Directed for use between meals, 1 capsule 1 to 4 times daily, so the dose is easy to adjust
- Free from wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, gluten, GMOs, artificial colors and sweeteners, coatings and shellacs, magnesium stearate, and unnecessary binders and fillers
What Pure Encapsulations Says It Supports*
- Supports dopamine synthesis for emotional wellness and cognitive function*
- Promotes healthy neurotransmitter function in response to stress*
- Supports mood*
- Supports thyroid hormone synthesis*
How It Fits Into a Protocol
Tyrosine works best as a piece of a plan. When thyroid support is the main goal, I look at Pure Encapsulations Iodine and the combined Iodine and Tyrosine capsule. For stress-load plans, it can sit beside Pure Encapsulations Rhodiola Rosea or Gabatone Active. Anyone taking thyroid or other prescription medication should check with their prescribing provider before adding this.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do I take it?
Between meals. Pure Encapsulations directs 1 capsule, 1 to 4 times daily.
How is this different from the Iodine and Tyrosine capsule?
This is tyrosine alone, so you set the amount. The combined capsule pairs it with iodine for people whose focus is thyroid support.
