I was doing some research and came across this article that I thought was particularly helpful.
http://www.raysahelian.com/tyrosine.html
It does not talk about use of L-Tyrosine for increasing body temp, but I thought it did shed some light on some important side effects to keep in mind. The bottom of the page of that article had some great Q&A.
I was researching this as I was looking for a way to increase my body temp. I did a search on this forum because I know that low body temp can be a problem when using BO. I found recommendations for use of L-Tyrosine at levels from 1000 - 1500 mg per day. However, according to this article, anything above 200mg can cause side effects such as rapid heartbeat and insomnia.
Those who have low body temp are more likely to have thyroid problems and those with thyroid conditions are more likely to have a benign heart condition called Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP). This condition can cause minor heart palpitations and is associated with a higher risk of anxiety attacks. If you mix all this together then you have a recipe for distress. A person who is prone to heart palpitations and anxiety attacks taking L-Tyrosine above 200mg could make themselves temporarily miserable.
Just thought I would mention this and hopefully help someone avoid a bad episode.
