since this site was originaly started to try to prevent people getting ripped off I offer this.
I am sure everyone has seen the commercial for the $150.00 a bottle miracle diet pill. Here is the ingredients in it. I don't have my pdr handy perhaps some med students can give us a run down on what over dosing on L-Tyrosine will do for you since they do not list the amount of it in the contents.
the quotes are mine

L-Tyrosine is a direct precursor to Thyroxine, a primary thyroid hormone, as well as Adrenaline and Nor-adrenaline. Thyroxine has been found to increase metabolic rate and control growth rate. L-Tyrosine is a necessary amino acid in the production of neurotransmitters including epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. L-Tyrosine also appears to have a mild stimulatory effect on the central nervous system.
Patients with a Thyroxine deficiency have symptoms including excess weight gain, cold hands and feet, and decreased basal metabolism. L-Tyrosine has been found to assist in optimizing thyroid hormone levels, increased mood, concentration, and productivity.
L-Tyrosine is used to treat conditions including depression or mood disorder, poor coping ability, fatigue, low sex drive, low metabolism, and drug abuse (when combined with Tryptophan). It can also improve endurance under stress and is effective as an appetite suppressant. When taken properly, L-Tyrosine can assist a sluggish thyroid and aid the dieter in losing excess, unwanted pounds.
The suggested dosage for healthy adults ranges from 500 to 1500 mg per day.
