L-Tyrosine is readily converted to both dopamine and norepinephrine in human physiology and therefore acts as a nootropic (increasing mental performance), stimulant and mood enhancement. L-Tyrosine acts as a nootropic by increasing alertness, mental acuity, and elevating mood. Many people that take L-Tyrosine find it helps them to improve their mental alertness, arousal, mood, and also that it acts as an appetite suppressant.

The commonly recommended dose for L-Tyrosine varies between as little as 500 milligrams (mg) per day to as much as 4 grams per day depending upon individual needs and responses to this nutritional supplement. One level 1/2 teaspoon (see Bulk Density table) yields approximately 980 milligrams (0.98 grams), or fairly close to 1 gram. Taking 1/2 level teaspoon two times per day will yield an approximate daily dose of 2 grams, or taken three times per day will yield a daily dose of approximately 3 grams. You should consider that L-Tyrosine supplementation will take between 2 and 4 weeks at a given dose to give you a complete understanding of the dosage level you are taking. if you find you are being over stimulated by your L-Tyrosine dose you should cut your dose down and reevaluate your results after about two weeks at your new dose. Likewise, if you find you could use greater stimulation and mood enhancement you might try increasing your dose accordingly.

Side effects from L-Tyrosine use and overdose are uncommon when taken within the range of recommended dose but can include restlessness, anxiety, euphoria and insomnia. If you find that taking L-Tyrosine is over stimulating you should consider cutting back on your dose and find the level of dose right for your individual needs.
