  • L Tyrosine

    Hello,

    a mother was told by her Dr. to take a supplement of L Tyrosine. I do not find this in the last edition of the book.

    Is that safe for the breastfeeding dyad?

    Her nursling is 2 1/2 years old.

    Thanks,
    Myriam, LLL Antwerp

    Dear Myriam,

    L-Tyrosine is a nonessential amino acid. We do not have data on the amount of L-Tyrosine that enters breastmilk. Because this child is older and the amount of breastmilk consumed is small, it would be unlikely for this child to have clinical effects.

    Sincerely,
