Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid synthesized in the body from the amino acid phenylalanine. It is a precursor from which the body makes dopamine, which is then converted to norepinephrine and then to epinephrine. Tyrosine is an important component for the production of several important brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters help nerve cells communicate and influence mood.* Tyrosine can act as a mood elevator and an antidepressant.* Tyrosine also helps produce melanin, the pigment responsible for hair and skin color.* L-Tyrosine is commonly taken by people suffering from depression and Attention Deficient Disorders.*
This formula provides 1,200 mg of L-tyrosine, along with vitamin C for its role as a cofactor in neurotransmitter production. Tyrosine is ideally taken on an empty stomach or 2 hours before a protein-containing meal to avoid competition with other amino acids for absorption.
