HelloPharmacist Scorecard of 100% Pure L-Tyrosine 500 Milligrams by NutraBio
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This is a single-ingredient product: L-tyrosine, an amino acid your body makes naturally and uses to build proteins and brain chemicals. The capsule itself is made from vegetable material.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The science backs L-tyrosine for one thing: treating PKU (phenylketonuria), a rare genetic condition. For cognitive function and memory, the evidence is possibly helpful — some studies suggest a benefit, but more research is needed.
For athletic performance, it looks possibly ineffective. For alcohol use disorder and dementia, there isn't enough reliable evidence to say either way yet.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Tyrosine is generally well tolerated in healthy adults. The most common side effects in people who took it were fatigue, headache, heartburn, and nausea — usually at higher doses.
No serious adverse effects have been documented, though a full safety evaluation hasn't been done. Before taking it regularly, talk with a healthcare provider.
There isn't enough safety data during pregnancy, and breastfeeding safety data is also limited — talk to your doctor if you're pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check before starting if you take levodopa (a Parkinson's medication) — you'll need to space doses 2 hours apart. Also double-check if you're on thyroid hormone medication.
No other medication interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
L-Tyrosine is a straightforward amino acid supplement that works for PKU and shows promise for brain function. If you take levodopa for Parkinson's or thyroid hormone medication, check with your pharmacist first — timing matters.
For everyone else, the biggest caution is just making sure you know what you're using it for and that your provider agrees.

100% Pure L-Tyrosine 500 Milligrams by NutraBio Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
NutraBio's L-Tyrosine can interact with a couple of important medication types.
The main one is levodopa (a Parkinson's drug): tyrosine and levodopa compete for absorption in your small intestine, so tyrosine might make levodopa less effective. If you take levodopa, separate your tyrosine dose from it by at least 2 hours.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Thyroid hormone medications are the other concern. Tyrosine is a building block your body uses to make thyroid hormones, so taking extra tyrosine might add to the effect of your thyroid medication.
Altogether, these interactions span 21 individual medications.
If you're on either of these drug types, check your exact medication with the search tool below before you start.
