L-Tyrosine
(non-essential amino acid)
What is
L-Tyrosine?
L-Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid. It
is found in casein. L-Tyrosine is synthesized from phenylalanine, another amino acid. It is very important to
the structure of virtually all proteins in the body. L-Tyrosine is a precursor to neurotransmitters and
increases plasma neurotransmitter levels (not only dopamine and norepinephrine, but L-Dopa and
epinephrine as well). During times of stress, L-Tyrosine converts thyroid hormone into adrenaline. Under
chronically stressed conditions, L-Tyrosine levels can be depleted, hence the need to
supplement.
L-Tyrosine is converted by the skin into melanin
to help protect it from the harmful effects of uv rays.

its own, and is enhanced by other ingredients combined with it, we recommend you include L-glutamine as
part of a complete homeopathic hgh (human growth hormone) product. L-glutamine is an ingredient in the following
