L-Tyrosine – Energy, Mood, Wellness

L-TYROSINE SUPPLEMENTATION

L-tyrosine is an amino acid that produces dopamine and norepinephrine, neurotransmitters that are associated with mental health disorders. An L-tyrosine deficiency is associated with various mental health disorders in women. Increasing dietary intake of tyrosine increases levels of the amino acid in the brain for synthesis of dopamine and norepinephrine, according to research by scientists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine published in “The Journal of Nutrition” in June 2007.
