Description
Solgar® L-Tyrosine contains Tyrosine, an amino acid which is naturally
present as a free amino acid within the blood and nervous system tissues.
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are needed in several
internal functions of the body. They are classified as “essential”
or “non-essential”, with essential amino acids meaning they
cannot be manufactured by the body and must be supplied in the diet to
maintain good all-round health. Amino acids can be further used by the
body to create hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, antibodies and nutrient
carriers. A suboptimal intake of the essential amino acids increases the
body’s need for the non-essential amino acids either through diet
or supplementation. Foods that increase amino acid intake are meat, beans,
cheese and eggs.
Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid and can be found in dairy products,
meats, fish, eggs, nuts, beans, oats and wheat. Tyrosine is the precursor
of the stress hormones adrenaline and nor-adrenaline, which are responsible
for the body’s ‘fight or flight’ reaction. Chemical
messengers that are involved in brain processes also uses Tyrosine.
Solgar® L-Tyrosine 500 mg Vegetable Capsules come in a 1 capsule a
day dose in easy to absorb vegetable form.
