L-Tyrosine supports and assists in maintaining the proper levels of neurotransmitters. This in turn regulates and influences mental and neurological function in the brain. Helps and assists in concentration capabilities and has a direct influence on the patient mood in a positive out look.

L-Tyrosine is a conditionally-essential amino acid, which is used by the body to synthesize brain chemicals, especially the three neurotransmitters known as "Catecholamines, Dopamine, Norepinpephrine {Noradrenalin} and Epinephrine {Adrenaline}.

When the body is stressed out, physically tired or aged, the storage and availability of L-Tyrosine is depleted, thus there is little L-Tyrosine available for the brain to make Catecholamines. Human testing has shown when Catecholamine levels drop the patient begins to experience the negative effects of mental stress more readily. A drop in Catecholamine levels can result in increased anxiety and decreased ability for concentration.

Increasing the intake of L-tyrosine in stressful situations or aged conditions enables the body to counteract many of the negative effects of stress and mental aging, thus improving mood, alertness and mental concentration and capacities. L-Tyrosine will also help protect the body from the physical symptoms of stress, which include muscle fatigue and headaches.

L-Tyrosine also functions in the synthesis of certain hormones, including Thyroxine, a thyroid hormone that regulates the body rate of Metabolism, Growth and Body Repair and Maintenance.
