Title: Hyperpigmentation and Tyrosine


NJO - November 17, 2005 06:22 PM (GMT)
I read about patients with thyroid disease taking Tyrosine and I did years ago when I was struggle and before I knew about AD. My question is: if we are prone to or have hyperpigmentation wouldn't tyrosine make it worse? Tyrosine stimulates the production of melanin and this is what gives us pigment to our skin...and too much ACTH causes us to have hyperpigmentation. Wouldn't Tyrosine just add to the problem?

I no longer use it and have felt that it would just add to my problem with hyperpigmentation ( I have very little left now). Am I wrong?

Read article in Library for more info on Tyrosine
