L-Tyrosine
Hi Lurking,
The correct name is L-Tyrosine, the L means it is an optically active molecule and bends polarised light to the left. That is from memory, I did not not look it up, but I am sure it is correct. When people drop the L, it is just to shorten the name. The 2 names are definitely the same chemical. Sorry I mixed Jon's post for yours. Jon, I have also an old bottle of L-Tyrosine which I tried years ago, they are 500mg tablets and I took one per day for a couple of days, but they did not switch me on. How long have you had PD? The molecular weight of L-tyrosine is 181 and levodopa is 197. This means 500mg of L-tyrosine will produce 544mg of levodpa (if it is all converted). So I would have thought it should have worked to switch me on. However, the answer may be in Rick's reference, where it says, "The primary natural means via which cell damage can occur in Parkinson's Disease is due to the reaction from L-tyrosine to L-dopa not taking place." The reaction from L-tyrosine to levodopa needs several enzymes, which maybe I am missing. There must have been more research on using precursers of levodopa. Ron |
<< Jon,

How long have you had PD? >> 3 years since diagnosis, 4 years since visible symptoms, 6-7 years of dealing with an erratic left hand (I've played guitar for 50 years so was very aware that it wasn't functioning properly). |
