L-Tyrosine

L-Tyrosine is the precursor of several neurotransmitters, including adrenaline, norepinephrine, dopamine and thyroid hormones, which help support almost every process in the body. It helps maintain a healthy nervous system, particularly mood and mental function. * Adrenaline (A.K.A epinephrine) is involved with the fight-flight response to prepare our bodies for action. Norinephrine is functionally the same as adrenaline. * Dopamine is a neurotransmitter involved with the reward pathway in our brains. It is also involved with movement control, motivation and learning. * Tyrosine is also a precursor of a number of thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones control metabolic rates, growth and development. * Tyrosine maintains mental acuity and memory, particularly during stress.
