Tyrosine, a non-essential amino acid, has a number of functions, including mood regulation and nervous system stimulation. It is used to treat conditions which produce chronic fatigue.
Tyrosine makes important brain chemicals that regulate appetite, pain sensitivity, and the body’s reaction to stress, helps normalize the functions of the thyroid, pituitary, and adrenal glands, and can also help ease sensitivity to pain.
Tyrosine deficiency may exhibit as hypothyroidism, low blood pressure, chronic fatigue and decreased metabolism. The body’s inability to produce tyrosine may also lead to a variety of disorders, including anxiety, depression, and low libido.
Tyrosine is used as an anti-allergen, and to alleviate headaches and the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease; it further can assist in drug withdrawal.
Dietary tyrosine is present in almonds, avocados, bananas, dairy products, beans, and seeds.
We believe, overall, that this amino acid is very beneficial to health; people who consume the amino acid often experience improved vitality and energy.
L-Tyrosine: What to Watch Out For
Because L-Tyrosine is naturally manufactured the body; there is, a possibility that excessive supplemental doses could result in negative reactions. We believe, however that it is, overall, an extremely safe nutrient.
Woman who are pregnant or nursing, or those with an existing medical condition--especially those suffering with psychiatric conditions or taking any prescription drugs of any kind--should talk with their physician before taking L-Tyrosine.
While many sources recommend taking 500 mgs to 1,500 mgs of L-Tyrosine per day, we personally believe that, unless otherwise advised by a health care professional, a dose of that size is far too excessive. We believe that, for most people, a daily dosage of 150-300 mgs should yield the desired health benefits, and at the same time, avoid the risks involved from taking mega-doses of L-Tyrosine.
