How much L-Tyrosine for adrenal support

[drveejay11]

I was told that L-Tyrosine was an excellent supplement to take for restoration of the adrenal gland. How many mg will be great for this purpose (I am a coffee and ECA fanatic and I plan to remain a caffeine junkee yet protect my adrenals with L-Tyrosine). Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!!

BUMP...i'm curious about this too

Never heard that one before. Tyrosine is used as Nature's own Prozac. If you want to normalize your mood swings and adjust (as some of us in the PNW do) to reduced light winters, Tyrosine is the ticket.

Additionally, precontest, Tyrosine will enhance your ability to retain a natural tan up to 30% longer by increasing your retention of Melanin in your skin layers. I use this pre-contest (a month out) as well as Pre vacations (to sunny destination) and tan furiously the weeks prior for both. This lays a solid base tan and you'll come back much darker than without.

All in all, I was tipped off to these wonderful features by an ND (naturopath) so when I'm coming off cycle, feeling blue or just bummed, taking 300 to 600mg of Tyrosine ED for a week, rebounds me nicely and just gives you a nice feeling of euphoria....all in all, good stuff.

As to adrenal support......never heard that and in my research (Naturopath's reference encyclopedia) I don't find that at all.

Enjoy!

Karma appreciated if you find this useful.

adrenal

tyrosine takes some of the stress off the adrenals,
The best 2 things to take are pantothenic acid ,and
licorice root, later

No licorice hombres. Ever.

It will cause an estogenic rebound that blows you up to 400lbs and make you grow 3 hairy tits on your back. You will develop a facial expression like Rosie O'Donnell licking shit off an electric fence. You will...oh just read it yourselves you bastards.

Reduction of Serum Testosterone in Men by Licorice

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----

To the Editor:

Extracts of licorice root are widely used in many countries as flavoring agents, breath fresheners, or candy. The active component of licorice is glycyrrhizic acid, which is hydrolyzed in vivo to glycyrrhetinic acid. The well-known mineralocorticoid-like effect of licorice results from the inhibition of 11(beta)-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of cortisol to cortisone, thereby minimizing the binding of cortisol to mineralocorticoid receptors. (1) Licorice may also directly activate mineralocorticoid receptors. (2) In vitro, licorice can block 17(beta)-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the conversion of androstenedione to testosterone. (3)

We evaluated the effect of licorice on gonadal function in seven normal men, 22 to 24 years of age. The men were given 7 g daily of a commercial preparation of licorice in the form of tablets (Saila, Bologna, Italy) containing 0.5 g of glycyrrhizic acid, as determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry; the effect on the metabolism of mineralocorticoids in these men was reported previously. (2) Serum testosterone, androstenedione, and 17-hydroxyprogesterone were measured by radioimmunoassay before and after four and seven days of administration of licorice and four days after it was discontinued. During the period of licorice administration, the men's serum testosterone concentrations decreased and their serum 17-hydroxyprogesterone concentrations increased (Table 1).

These results demonstrate that licorice inhibits both 17(beta)-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 17,20-lyase, which catalyzes the conversion of 17-hydroxyprogesterone to androstenedione. The amounts of licorice given to these men are eaten by many people. Thus, men with decreased libido or other sexual dysfunction, as well as those with hypertension, should be questioned

Someone called the L-Tyrosine & DMAE combo, clomid for the nervous system. I take a gram and a half of L-Tyrosine and 200mgs of DMAE first thing in the morning with my coffee. I really think it helps with holding off over training.
