NOW Supplements, L-Tyrosine Powder, Free-Form, Neurotransmitter Support*, Amino Acid, 4-Ounce

L-Tyrosine gives my son more energy and focus than he has without it. I suggested this to him instead of morning caffeine. It works very well for him. He takes one tbsp. of powder in his mouth and washes it down with OJ. We don't try to dissolve it because we don't need it to be, he can swallow it fine. This product works great according to him and the price is right. My son does not like pills.

I don't know where to start with this stuff! I have literally struggled with anxiety and depression. I've always struggled with these and I have been to the doctors who have prescribed meds, however at a certain point I just didn't want to take them anymore. So at that point just raw dogging my anxiety, depression and life in general. I've found myself getting up in the mornings and being productive before work, going to the gym. But I really want to say this which is a very very big thing I've noticed, i'm not crying as often and having the same sad thoughts. I find myself happy to wake up, at first I didn't think it was really working, but slowly I started to see changes and I've purchased this twice, i'm not finished with my first one, but I don't want to run out of this stuff. It has truly helped my thought process, being more upbeat (I don't want to say happy because i control my happiness and it doesn't come from a pill). I don't think that this is a placebo affect at all. I really believe that this is helping me and continues to help me daily. I take it first thing in the morning on a empty stomach, I usually don't eat until i get to work about two hours after i take it. Highly recommend! Will continue to purchase this!

I have used capsule L-Tyrosine for many years on and off. Tyrosine is used to make L-dopa, then dopamine and epinephrine, norepinephrine. It also is used to make thyroid hormones and melanin. Think about that, and you can see how it can help with energy and clarity- but too much and you can get amped out of your skin and have insomnia. Believe me, not good. The book, "The Mood Cure" has great information about it, along with reports of its use in cocaine addicts to wean them off. Perhaps it could have use in smoking cessation and other pleasure/dopamine deficiency states? The chapter talks about "the blahs." I have dumped out capsules and the powder inside is just like this powder; a tart/sharp taste, but it doesn't dissolve well in water. That is just a chemical property. To clarify: all those who rate this product down due to poor liquid solubility are doing it a discredit. Some things dissolve in oil better, in water, heated, or not. It just is. Swirl the water or juice in your cup, and gulp the mix down. I like this powder because you can use small doses. I overdid it in the past and it was hard to reset my body, I was so tired and sluggish when stopping it, ugh!! Now I only take maybe 200 mg for a dose, or I am flying high and racing mind. In short, this can really help clear your mind and sharpen your focus - but MUST be taken on EMPTY stomach for the fastest absorption. I feel effects in 15-20 minutes this way, clouds of fog lift, focus improves. But I know now to keep a dose small, not too late in the day, and not every day. Now makes good quality products at reasonable prices, I have been a repeat customer of various products for many years. Hope this is helpful info for your evaluation.

Doesn't dissolve completely, and is scratchy in the throat when I attempt to consume it. Powerful stuff, though. I definitely function a lot better with this in my system. Great for people with sluggish thyroid and/or dopamine production issues.

this is a great product..i can tell it's pure because it works as it should.....great food for the thyroid gland...provides natural energy without any side effects...u can get the jitters if u take too much, but that depends on ur individual dosage....I haven't had such issue as of yet..
