Its in your food : L-tyrosine is already in much of the food you eat. Watch out for sensational promises by charming supplement salespeople and companies.

Are there any interactions or concerns regarding taking the amino acid L-Tyrosine and the thyroid med Synthroid? Drug interdiction sites dont have much on the two together as one is a drug and the other I guess isnt. Mixed chatter on the subject.
