L-Tyrosine 500mg 120caps - Now

Nervous system regulator.

L-Tyrosine is an essential amino acid formed from Phenylalanine via an enzyme called phenylalanine hydroxylase.
This amino acid acts as a precursor to catecholamines (Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, and Dopamine), thus justifying its importance in regulating the nervous system. Catecholamines are neurotransmitters involved in alertness and focus, relaxation, and mood. Furthermore, L-Tyrosine is necessary for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, namely thyroxine (T4), which is responsible for metabolic regulation. Thus, this amino acid regulates endocrine functions, whether concerning the thyroid or adrenal glands.

Melanin is a protein substance that protects our skin from UV rays and also functions as a pigment; its production takes place at the level of melanocytes, dermal cells, more precisely within an organelle called the melanosome. This pigment results from the catabolism of tyrosine which, after enzymatic action, reacts with molecular oxygen, resulting in a precursor molecule of melanin.

It is also important to mention that the amino acid Tyrosine is a precursor to Coenzyme Q10, which participates in the production of ATP, cellular fuel, in addition to being a powerful antioxidant.

Human studies suggest that Tyrosine may increase mental performance in situations of environmental stress. (1) Others refer to its impact on dermal vasoconstriction, helping to maintain body temperature even under cold stimuli. (2) Still other research refers to its benefits in promoting cognitive flexibility, showing a decrease in reaction time and error rates between tasks, possibly justified by the induction of increased dopamine.
