Facts : L-Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid (if phenylalanine levels are sufficient). Low levels generally occur due to rapid metabolism. High levels are found in muscle. Very little is however, found in cereals, grains, vegetables, fruits or oils. L-Tyrosine is important to brain nutrition, as a precursor of the neurotransmitter dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine (adrenaline). It is also a precursor for hormones, i.e. thyroid hormone catecholestrogens and for melanin. Animals studies suggest a useful regulatory role for L-Tyrosine in certain types of hypertension.
Alleged uses : L-Tyrosine is especially useful in stress, assisting the body in coping physiologically and building up the natural stores of adrenaline. It has shown to improve and maintain working memory under stress and during multi-tasking, increasing accuracy. Positive results have also been seen in its use as an appetite suppressant in high dosages. The use in treatment of light depression is most marked, possibly due to its effect, not only on brain catecholamines, but also the thyroid hormones in the body. L-Tyrosine has also been used in the supportive treatment of drug dependency and low sex drive.
