Tyrosine Powder (L-Tyrosine), Unflavoured, 100% Pure Powder

Amino Acid Supplement

 

What is Tyrosine?

Tyrosine (L-Tyrosine) is a nonessential amino acid the body makes from another amino acid called phenylalanine.  It is used as a precursor for the production of several important brain chemicals called neurotransmitters, including epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine.

Tyrosine is also used in the production of thyroid hormones.  Tyrosine is often taken as a supplement to help increase catecholamine levels depleted during stressful or challenging conditions.  It is taken as a free-form amino acid supplement, commonly alone or as part of weight loss or pre-workout supplements.

In the diet, Tyrosine can be eaten in dairy products, meats, fish, eggs, nuts, beans, oats, and wheat.  The body uses Tyrosine to make chemical messengers that are involved in conditions affecting the brain, such as mental alertness.

 

Use & Benefits:

Tyrosine is a popular dietary supplement used to improve alertness, attention and focus.  Some studies suggest that Tyrosine supplementation may help alleviate acute stress-induced cognitive decline by restoring catecholamine levels in the brain.  Taking Tyrosine might improve mental performance under stressful conditions and improve memory during stressful situations.

Multiple studies have demonstrated that Tyrosine can help to prevent declined cognitive function under stressful, cognitively demanding conditions.  Although it has not been shown to improve memory under resting conditions, Tyrosine supplementation has been shown to alleviate reduced memory under acutely stressful conditions.  So Supplementing with Tyrosine is thought to increase levels of the neurotransmitters dopamine, adrenaline and norepinephrine as well as support thyroid hormones and melanin.

Dopamine:  Dopamine regulates your reward and pleasure centres.  This important brain chemical is also important for memory and motor skills.

Adrenaline and Noradrenaline:  These hormones are responsible for the fight-or-flight response to stressful situations.  They prepare the body and protect it from a perceived attack or harm.

Thyroid hormones:  Thyroid hormones are produced by the thyroid gland and primarily responsible for regulating metabolism.

Melanin:  This pigment gives your skin, hair and eyes their colour.  Dark-skinned people have more melanin in their skin than light-skinned people.

Some studies show that people with PKU (phenylketonuria), an inherited disorder that increases levels of Phenylalanine in the blood, are not able to process the amino acid Phenylalanine.  This amino acid is used by the body to make Tyrosine.  To prevent Tyrosine levels from becoming too low, people with PKU are advised to supplement with Tyrosine.

Try adding Tyrosine to you diet and include in your smoothies, yogurt, cereal, juice, protein shakes or a flavoured BCAA.  You will find best results by combining with Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Taurine and NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine).
