_What is L-Tyrosine?_
L-Tyrosine is an amino acid that is naturally produced in your body from Phenylalanine. It helps to make Dopamine, Adrenaline / Noradrenaline, Thyroid hormones and Melanin in your body.
_How does it work?_
When activated in your body, L-Tyrosine synthesizes catecholamine neurotransmitters which promote memory, mood and mental processing.
This in turn helps to promote your brain’s overall levels of feel-good hormones like dopamine, which can help you fight stress, and perform better when under pressure.
