Product Indications
L-Tyrosine, an amino acid, is a building block for several important mood enhancing brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) such as serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline. L-Tyrosine is a precursor of thyroid hormones and it also assists in the function of the glands responsible for making and regulating hormones, including the adrenal, thyroid and pituitary glands.
