DESCRIPTION L-Tyrosine belongs to the semi-essential amino acids. The body can use L-phenylalanine to create L-tyrosine. There are times when there is not enough tyrosine available to meet the requirement of the human body. Tyrosine is less well absorbed than its precursor phenylalanine. For this reason it could be useful to supplement with phenylalanine in addition to taking tyrosine. L-Tyrosine is an important building block for the neurotransmitters dopamine & (nor)adrenaline & is the precursor of the thyroid hormone thyroxin. It promotes a balanced frame of mind & helps to reduce stress from mental pressure & exertion. It also promotes a normal & regular menstrual cycle. Most important characteristics of L-Tyrosine 400 mg: Contains only the natural L-form of the amino acid. USE Take 1 to 2 capsules daily at least half an hour before a meal with fruit juice.
