L-Tyrosine is a semi-essential amino acid that the body can produce itself from the amino acid phenylalanine. However, in certain situations, natural production may not be sufficient, making additional intake through diet or supplements desirable.

L-Tyrosine competes with other amino acids from protein-rich food for absorption in the body. When you take the supplement in the morning on an empty stomach or between meals, it has less competition from other nutrients.

Capsules are accurately dosed and have no bitter taste. Moreover, the capsule ensures that the powder does not come into direct contact with stomach acid. Therefore, a capsule is preferable, but a powder can be convenient if you want higher dosages.
