Tyrosine Safety
Original post in this thread

I've started taking L Tyrosine, and find it seems to make me much less sleepy, and I have more energy. However I read conflicting things on whether it's safe to use every day or not?

You use it every day whether you know it or not (Soy, eggs, salmon, spirulina, cheese, turkey, pumpkin, etc). It is part of everyone's diet. It still leaves the final two rate-limiting steps for dopamine synthesis (Tyrosine Hydroxylase and Aromatic L-Amino Acid Decarboxylase). So it can be taken daily without issue.
For reference, 200 calories of egg whites contains almost 2 grams of L-Tyrosine. Turkey and salmon contain about 1.7 grams.
