L-Tyrosine

The product contains L-tyrosine, obtained through bacterial fermentation, 500 mg/capsule.

It is sold in the form of vegetable capsules, which can also be taken in vegetarian/vegan diets, and lasts up to 50 days.

L-tyrosine is a form of the amino acid tyrosine, which is a non-essential amino acid. For this reason, it does not need to be obtained from food. The body produces tyrosine using another amino acid called phenylalanine.

Tyrosine is found in most fluids in the human body and in all its tissues. It helps the body build proteins and produce thyroid hormones, enzymes and melanin, which is the pigment in the skin. Another important role is to help the body produce neurotransmitters that help nerve cells communicate. Tyrosine is particularly important in the production of norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine. It contributes to the formation of important chemicals that influence sleep and mood.

The human body has a mechanism for regulating tyrosine intake.

L-Tyrosine supports thyroid function by maintaining normal tyrosine levels and helping to reduce symptoms associated with low thyroid activity (e.g. brittle hair and nails, intolerance to cold, weight gain, involuntary muscle contractions).

Other benefits include: supporting adrenal gland function, supporting the body against stress factors (maintaining vitality, muscle energy and responsiveness), promoting libido and sexual function, and helping to limit menstrual symptoms by maintaining normal testosterone and progesterone levels.

L-Tyrosine supports brain function (in the brain, L-tyrosine is converted into dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline, which maintain the health of dopaminergic neurons) by: maintaining concentration and learning ability (supports motivation, attention, energy and decision-making), helping to reduce symptoms such as daytime sleepiness and fatigue, maintaining natural hair and skin colour, promoting mobility (provides support in reducing joint stiffness and tremors), providing support for skin manifestations associated with ultraviolet radiation (L-tyrosine is converted into melanin, a dark pigment present in hair, skin and eye membranes) and manifestations associated with the ageing process, supporting vision.

It is recommended to take 1 capsule 1-3 times a day, preferably between meals.

This product may interact with medications such as thyroid hormones, antidepressants or antiparkinsonian drugs.

Tyrosine supplements can cause restlessness, insomnia, palpitations, gastrointestinal symptoms and headaches.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not use L-tyrosine. It is also not recommended to take L-tyrosine in the following conditions:

Thyroid disorders: Tyrosine is involved in the production of thyroid hormones, so you should not use L-tyrosine if you have a thyroid disorder such as Graves' disease or hyperthyroidism. It could cause excessively high levels of thyroid hormones.

Migraines: During the conversion of some tyrosine into the neurotransmitter epinephrine, a substance called tyramine is created. Tyramine can cause migraine headaches by triggering the contraction and then dilation of blood vessels. For this reason, those who are susceptible to migraines should not take L-tyrosine.
