Hi there,
I have recently been prescribed Nardil, which is , and I would really like to know if whey protein powder would be safe to take while on this medication.
However I am not sure (and cannot find any information) about whether Whey Protein is a food that has a Tyramine content which could be dangerous. I am concerned because Whey protein is obviously concentrated and processed milk protein, and perhaps during this processing, it steadily builds up a large Tyramine content from the L-Tyrosine breaking down.Also I have read in one list that L-Tyrosine is something that should be avoided, and whey protein actually contains fairly high quantities of this. Is L-Tyrosine really that bad?
Thank you very much for helping me on this, I have already emailed this question to many leading companies (Optimum nutrition, My Protein, Pfitzer, Pharmacy companies and universities) and I have not recieved one reply as of yet, so I look forward to hearing from your responses here.
