PYCNOGENOL and L-Tyrosine

[TanyaRD]

Good Morning, 'Lizbeth. Pycnogenol is also known as pine bark extract. It is a potent antioxidant and is sometimes used to homeopathically treat ADHD. Animal studies show some protection of cardiotoxicity from some chemo agents, however, if you are in active treatment right now there are also some known interactions between the supplement and chemo/radiation because of its antioxidant properties. Taking Tyrosine is probably not harmful but use caution if you are on any anti-depressants as there can be interaction with some anti-depressant drugs. If you have questions on any of the other supplements you receive recommendations for please feel free to post and I will be happy to research for you.
