What is L-Tyrosine?
Good 4 Life L-Tyrosine 500mg 100 count capsules uses the L form of Tyrosine because it is closer to that which is manufactured by the body. It is derived from natural sugar beets.
L-Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid, that is key to metabolism as it is the precursor of adrenaline, norepinephrine and dopamine and thyroid hormones.
Tyrosine also supports the healthy adrenal and pituitary glands. The adrenal gland regulates the stress hormones; therefore, it is important to supplement with tyrosine during times of stress.
Recent studies confirm that supplementation with Tyrosine can help to lessen effects of stress.
Researchers theorize that this is due to Tyrosine being the precursor for epinephrine, a neurotransmitter that helps manage the body’s response to stress.
A study on US Marines who were sleep deprived demonstrated that Tyrosine is effective in alleviating stress and increasing mental alertness.
