HelloPharmacist Scorecard of L-Tyrosine 500 mg by Evlution Nutrition
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 product contains one active ingredient: L-tyrosine, an amino acid your body uses to make neurotransmitters and thyroid hormones. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients—cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, stearate, and silicon dioxide—which are fillers and binders that hold it together.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence here is mixed. L-tyrosine is effective for phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare genetic condition where the body can't process a related amino acid.
For cognitive function and memory, the evidence suggests it's possibly effective, though the research isn't definitive. For athletic performance, the evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective.
For alcohol use disorder and dementia, we don't yet have enough reliable evidence to say either way.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Tyrosine is generally well tolerated in healthy adults, but we don't have thorough safety data on regular supplemental use, so talk with a healthcare provider before you start taking it regularly. The most common side effects are fatigue, headache, heartburn, and nausea.
Higher doses can bring on more headache and fatigue. There isn't enough safety data during breastfeeding, so caution is advised if you're nursing—talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using it.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your pharmacist if you take levodopa or any thyroid hormone medication (such as levothyroxine). Both interactions are Moderate in severity.
Levodopa may become less effective if you take tyrosine too close to it. Thyroid hormones may work too well or cause levels to climb too high.
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 might help with focus or memory in some people, but it's not a sure thing. If you take levodopa for Parkinson's or any thyroid medication, you need to check with us or your doctor first.
For healthy adults, it's generally well tolerated, though some people do experience nausea or headaches. Talk to your pharmacist before you start—especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or on regular medication.

HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
L-Tyrosine 500 mg by Evlution Nutrition interacts with two main medication types.
The most serious concern is levodopa (used for Parkinson's disease), where the interaction is Moderate in severity. Tyrosine and levodopa compete for absorption in your intestines, which can reduce how well levodopa works.

Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
You'll also want to check thyroid hormone medications (levothyroxine, synthroid, and others). Tyrosine is a building block for thyroid hormones and may have additive effects with these medications, potentially raising hormone levels too high.
Altogether, these interactions span 21 individual medications. Run your specific prescriptions through the checker below before you start this supplement.
