L-tyrosine is an amino acid that is necessary for protein synthesis and is a precursor to several important substances including thyroxine, melanin, and the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine.
Dopamine and norepinephrine are important hormones, transmitters of the central nervous system that help maintain good mood, attention and focus, and cognition. By increasing dopamine and epinephrine at the cellular level, tyrosine can help maintain nervous system health and improve mood, cognition, attention, and memory.
Tyrosine is a powerful antioxidant and has adaptogenic effects in response to physical or mental stress, lowering blood pressure, relieving fatigue, and improving cognitive function, attention, psychomotor skills, and memory. These effects may be due to its ability to influence brain chemicals and induce positive changes in brain pathways.
Tyrosine helps alleviate some of the effects of stress. Studies in humans have shown that supplementation improves various aspects of cognitive functioning and physical symptoms of fatigue when exposed to physical stressors such as cold, high altitude, and insomnia. The improvement is attributed to balancing brain chemicals and improving cognitive function.
