SciFit: L-Tyrosine

The free form amino acid L-Tyrosine is a precursor to neurotransmitters in the brain which control mood and mental functions.* Upon supplementation, your body uses it to promote:

• dopamine*
• norepinephrine (noradrenaline)*
• epinephrine (adrenaline)*

Wow, these are some of the main neurotransmitters in the brain! Therefore, low levels of tyrosine are linked to not enough dopamine or norepinephrine in the brain. This can make it hard to pay attention. That is one big reason that tyrosine is so important. More tyrosine means more dopamine and norepinephrine, which means your brain will be functioning properly and you can pay attention better!*

L-tyrosine also aids in adrenal, thyroid and pituitary function.* One thing it also does is convert to the thyroid hormone thyroxin.* This plays an important role in controlling metabolic rate, not to mention skin health, mental health, and growth rate!*

Although tyrosine can be produced in our bodies, the question is whether you have enough tyrosine in your body to produce sufficient amounts of important neurotransmitters. One to two capsules prior to a meal may make the difference!*
