how much tyrosine do you give?

[Guest guest]

My DS is 6, 37 pounds. He gets 162 mg of tyrosine in his amino mix. How much

higher can he go? Thanks!

I would likely try up to 250 mg without much worry. We were using tyrosine at one time and I forget the reason why, but we stopped.We are on the low oxalate diet, and I think it had something to do with that, but like I said, I forget what.

Thanks Toni. I actually tried 250mg along with the 162mg for a few days. This

morning I gave him the full 500mg capsule with the 162. I read somewhere that

someone gives 1000mg to their similar sized child. Wish I could find a good

resource about these doses!

I've been giving 2 caps in the morning (1000mg) He's 7 and approx. 50# To use it for ADHD, you figure out the dosage by giving 1 cap every 30 minutes until you see a result. Now, since he's not an adult and can't quite express that he "thinks better" (I don't think *any* 7 year old could) I made my husband do it and tell me how it felt since he's super ADD. When he hit 3 I knew I'd start my son with 1 and work our way up. I haven't tried 3 yet with him. 1 didn't do much. 2 might be doing something, I'm not sure yet.But for ADHD, it also needs to be given throughout the day and I only give it once per day which is also why it's hard to tell how much it's working. I haven't gotten any reports back from teachers yet. I know by the time he gets home, homework is a nightmare. Math word problems suck!!!! So the reality is, I still have to refine my investigation to really know how it's going (somebody please find me some time!) but I *do* know there have been no negatives at 1000mg so far.

I didn't know you used it for adhd. I might need to try it on myself and research why I took the bottle back. LOL

ADHD is low dopamine. Tyrosine is a dopamine precursor and should increase dopamine production. As usual, doesn't work for everyone but always worth a try. L-dopa is also something to try but it's more spendy.

Toni I'm pretty sure I read on the low ox list tyrosine converts to oxalates.

Not certain, but pretty sure. Maybe that's why you took it back.
