Customer Reviews of Source Naturals N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine 300mg, 120 Tablets
Customer Review: Great for many types of ADD
Summary: 5 Stars
I myself have horrible ADD, I have a bachelor's in psychology but didn't realize that I had the condition until I was in my junior year. This supplement has helped me out quite a bit, probably more than any other supplements except maybe tyrosine.Customer Review: It has potential
Summary: 3 Stars
My daughter has been taking this for a few weeks now to help improve energy and endurance. Her muscular weakness condition makes many activities hard for her to do. She has reported, and I have observed, some small improvements in her abilities since she began taking this product. The results are very individualized (I know others that have tried this amino acid), so you won't know the affect it will have on you unless you try.
I also tried Tyrosine (not the acetylated form, though) and found that it made me more alert late in the day and especially at night. I could not fall asleep until late at night, had lucid dreams, and woke very easily. I got limited sleep while taking Tyrosine, but I DID NOT feel tired. I think the effect of being more alert results in the perception of more energy, which results in being more active, which can have a positive impact in many ways. Try it an post the result you observe!
Customer Review: Didn't last for the long haul
Summary: 3 Stars
Took this to help with sleep and depression as I was trying to avoid a prescrption drug. Seemed to work for a few months but then didn't notice much after that. Kind of felt like I did before taking it. Was not interested in increasing dose as that scares me. Stopped taking it because there was a possibly that it would interact with a med I was to start taking. Did not notice any withdrawl or adverse side effects from stopping it.Customer Review: Folic Acid?
Summary: 1 Stars
N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine is N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine, so any brand will do, as long as it comes from a reputable company. For some reason, however, Source Naturals (a company I have always considered to be reputable, so I'm assuming this is just an error in someone's judgment that will be corrected sooner rather than later) has elected to add 400 micrograms of folic acid to each 300 mg tablet. Why do that? How does such a large amount of folic acid contribute to the metabolism of N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine? Other manufacturers add B-6, but SN is the only company I can find that adds folic acid. Given that high doses of folic acid are now implicated as a cause of lung, prostate and colon cancers, I cannot fathom why anyone who takes a multivitamin or a B-complex (because most contain at least 400 mcgs) would add to their risk by taking this product.
