Tyro Tan combines Tyrosine with PABA (Para Amino Benzoic Acid) in a formula designed to protect the health of the skin and promote a healthy golden tan. The product is manufactured by Health Plus, a company founded over 20 years ago and active in the nutritional supplements and health products field. The British originated company is present today on a worldwide scale in countries such as Holland, Germany, Denmark, Cyprus or Kenya.
Tyro Tan is marketed as a skin protection supplement and a summertime favorite based on consumers’ reviews. The product comes in the form of tablets and is recommended alongside the manufacturer’s sun tan lotion.
This is a product for people interested in their skin health and those wanting to achieve a golden tan and reduce the peeling process. The formula is also suitable for vegetarians.
Tyro Tan Ingredients
Tyro Tan includes the following ingredients: L-Tyrosine, Para Amino Benzoic Acid, Copper (Sulphate), Calcium Phosphate, Magnesium Stearate, Acacia, and Stearic Acid.
Product Features
The formula combines the amino acid L-Tyrosine with PABA and Copper in a formula designed to promote healthy skin.
L-tyrosine is an amino acid which plays an important role in protein synthesis. It is mainly used against depression, ADD, PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome), Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, chronic fatigue, schizophrenia and heart disease. Some people claim it also reduce age-related wrinkles, therefore it is commonly used as a suntan agent.
PABA is a nutrient which can be found naturally in different food sources (liver, kidney, mushrooms, whole grains and unfiltered bear) or produced industrially through several processes. It is considered to be an UV absorber and has been widely used as the main active ingredient in sunscreens over the years. However, studies have shown contradictory results and the side effects of PABA made it less used within this type of products. Side effects reported include skin irritation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea loss of appetite or stomach upset.
Even though the ingredients of Tyro Tan are generally researched substances, no evidence that the whole formula has been the subject of clinical trials is provided. No reviews from consumers could be found either.
The recommended dose is 2-3 tablets with a little sun exposure.
Advantages
- Relatively low price for a month’s supply (approximately $12);
- The formula contains some well researched ingredients.
Disadvantages
- No testimonials about the product;
- The sun blocking properties for some of the ingredients are disputed.
Conclusion
Tyro Tan is a three ingredients nutritional supplement advertised as a tested formula which promotes a healthy skin and durable tan. However, for some of the ingredients the sun blocking properties are disputed.
The formula’s main active ingredient is L-Tyrosine, an amino acid believed to help protect the health of skin. The other active components, PABA and Copper are also researched ingredients potentially useful for a healthy skin. Overall, there is little information available on the product, other than the ingredient list. No side effects, drug interactions or precautions are mentioned by the manufacturer, although individually the ingredients have been associated to some adverse reactions.
There is no scientific data or reviews to support the manufacturer’s claims and benefits of their product. The manufacturer does not provide any information about potentially harmful side-effects of Tyro Tan or any interactions with other medication. Therefore you should always ask the healthcare professional’s advice before using such a product.
