Solgar L-Tyrosine supplement provides l-tyrosine, an amino acid which is a precursor to the mood-elevating compound dopamine, helping to control mood and emotional state. L-Tyrosine contains Tyrosine, an amino acid which is naturally present as a free amino acid within the blood and nervous system tissues.
Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid and can be found in dairy products, meats, fish, eggs, nuts, beans, oats and wheat. Tyrosine is the precursor of the stress hormones adrenaline and nor-adrenaline, which are responsible for the body's fight or flight' reaction. Chemical messengers that are involved in brain processes also uses Tyrosine.
L-tyrosine's benefits include enhancing mental alertness, maintaining healthy thyroid hormones as well as helping to produce melanin pigment in skin. Reports on a lack of dopamine synthesis also point to its usefulness in Parkinson's. Aside from dopamine, tyrosine is converted into other stimulatory chemicals such as noradrenaline which may ultimately enhance mental alertness. Tyrosine levels decline with age and low levels are seen in patients with Alzheimer's Disease. Tyrosine is also required to manufacture thyroid hormones and may be of value in the management of hypothyroidism.
Tyrosine is required, with copper, to produce the pigment melanin which helps to achieve a deeper tan.
