Ecological Formulas, L-Tyrosine 500mg 250 Capsules
L-Tyrosine is an amino acid supplement that could potentially increase neurotransmitter activity in our brains. Amino acids are organic compounds that act as the essential building components of proteins. The way it works is this: as our bodies digest food and break down the proteins potentially found within that food‚ the amino acids that make up the proteins are left behind‚ serving several health-related functions in our body.
An L-Tyrosine supplement is one of the standard 22 amino acids that our bodies use. Specifically‚ potential tyrosine benefits include promoting the production of dopamine and epinephrine‚ neurotransmitters that facilitate different communications between nerves. Dopamine is a molecule that is most famous for being the catalyst for reward-motivated behavior. However‚ healthy dopamine levels also potentially coincide with thinking‚ motivation‚ movement‚ and learning. Epinephrine‚ on the other hand‚ is a stress hormone. This means that it plays a vital role in "fight-or-flight‚" the physical response our bodies undergo during a potentially dangerous event or threat. During this response‚ epinephrine causes glucose to be taken from energy stores‚ increasing blood flow to our muscles by speeding up our heart rate.
L-tyrosine supplements have been implicated‚ due to their potential effect on neurotransmitters‚ in possibly helping support positive mood and increased concentration‚ which may possibly affect certain symptoms of attention disorders. However‚ the effects of L-Tyrosine are possibly only noticed when our bodies are stressed‚ like‚, for instance, ‚ from lack of sleep or rest.
