ramakentesh Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I'm interested if anyone has invested this in pots or oi and what they experienced as a result. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
issie Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I've tried nearly everything. LOL! You have to be really careful with this as it can affect your thyroid function - can boost it. If you have an over-active thyroid it could make it worse. I don't remember what it did to me as far as POTS goes - but, it must have not impressed me because I didn't keep taking it. (This was years ago. So don't remember much about my response.)But, if you look at the benefits that it gives - it appears that it might be useful for some types of POTS people. Something to take a look at for sure.Issie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looneymom Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 The cardiologist and I have had a discussion on L-Tyrosine. The shake mix that I get from GNC has this amino acid plus the other essentials ones. The products is called Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60. From what I understand, you must have the other essential aminos before it can be asorbed. This shake has helped my son with fatigue issues. However, his body does not seem to be able to keep enough serotinon around, so the doctor has upped his Zoloft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzysillyak Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I have Hashimoto's but normal thyroid levels. Go figure.I tried tyrosine but didn't notice any effects. But, I noticed that I feel an energy boost if I take DLPA (pre-cursor for tyrosine) and tyrosine together. BUT the boost only lasts for the first couple of days and then stops. Subsequent doses or higher doses never made a difference. Neither DLPA or tyrosine worked alone for me but worked together. I used Solgar brand. tc ... d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khaarina Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 I have Hashimotos. My doc suggested L-Tyrosine and I took it for a few months, but it did not seem to do anything for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevInChester1 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I've tried Tyrosine supplementation before and find that it increases my depression. Think it might work for some people though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I take tyrosine and phenylalanine. They help me with psychological symptoms but not OI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
