Definitions for "L-Tyrosine"
one of the non-essential amino acids found in protein-rich foods such as meat, poultry, seafood and tofu. Is a precursor to the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine. These chemical messengers promote mental acuity and alertness. Increased levels of the neurotransmitters can affect mood and behavior, fostering a tendency to think more quickly and react more rapidly.
A nonessential amino acid that serves as a precursor for epinephrine, thyroxin and melanin. Tyrosine is present in many proteins, especially casein and works synergisticaly with glutamine and tryptophan. Tyrosine requires the presence of vitamin C and folic acid to function. Sources of tyrosine include aged cheese, beer, wine, yeast, ripe bananas, avocados, strawberries, cherries, apples and almonds.
A Nujuvenis(tm) GH Releaser ingredient L-Tyrosine is an amino acid found naturally in our bodies. Tyrosine's main purpose is to support the formation of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine. Neurotransmitters are important because they carry “messages” from one nerve cell to another thereby playing a vital role in our muscular function. L-Tyrosine accounts for as much as 90% of the production of these neurotransmitters, which are synthesized directly from this amino acid. Scientists believe that the main cause of stress-related depression or mental fatigue is directly related to decreased levels of dopamine, norepinephrine, and other neurotransmitters in the brain. They believe that the use of Tyrosine can enhance the life of these compounds and naturally relieve everyday symptoms of mental and physical fatigue. L-Tyrosine is believed to upgrade the production of neurotransmitters and maintain their levels when the body is under duress.
