Source of an amino acid involved in muscle protein synthesis. L-tyrosine supports stress management, performance during prolonged duration, enhances cognition and alertness during multitasking and sleep deprivation.
- Brain & Mood: Tyrosine is the precursor for the neurotransmitters such as epinephrine, and norepinephrine, which are essential for mood, cognitive function and central nervous system function.1-4
- Altitude: The most prevalent usage for supplemental tyrosine appears to be the enhancement of cognitive function and alertness under conditions of environmental stress such as sleep deprivation, multi-tasking in the workplace, and functioning at high altitudes and/or cold temperatures. It is noteworthy to mention that a high percentage of the studies done on tyrosine are conducted by the military looking to enhance focus and attention in their personnel.
- ADD: Clinical trials with tyrosine have also been conducted with respect to attention deficit disorder (ADD).5,6
- Other: Tyrosine is also the precursor for the formation of thyroid hormones as well as melanin, the skin and hair pigment.
