A member asked:
I heard that combining tyrosine and methylphenidate would be more helpful for adhd people. what do you say doctors ? plz advice.

You heard wrong: Wherever you heard that, stop listening to them. Tyrosine (tyr) is a nonessential amino acid. Your body makes all the tyr it needs from phenylalanine (phe). All you're doing is reducing your body's requirement for phe. Excess tyr is wasted or “burned” as fuel. Don’t waste your money.
