A substantial portion of phenylalanine is converted to tyrosine, but some is also available as a precursor to PEA, a feel-good chemical. You could probably go to 2g/day.Thanks. I'll give this a go. By the way I started taking the L-Tyrosine after reading the book "The Way Up" by P Slagle MD that you had linked to in a post you made a while back. I've lost the link but this doesn't matter because I have downloaded the complete PDF file.

>I've actually tried Bromelain. I didn't notice any pain relief but maybe I was taking it wrong. I was taking it as and when I needed it. Does this work or is it like Glucosamine where you need to take it consistently for a period of time before you see results? (the brand I was taking contained 300mg bromelain and 100mg calcium phosphate in each tablet. I used to take 2 tablets for attempted pain relief)
As always, thanks for your tips Larry.
By the way, what supplements do you take?
