L-TYROSINE
L-Tyrosine is a precursor to catecholamine neurotransmitters, which when deficient may cause a biochemical imbalance associated with depression.
WHAT IS TYROSINE?
Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid made from Phenylalanine in the body, and found in foods such as lima beans, pumpkinseeds, almonds, avocados, bananas and dairy products. It is extremely important for neurological health, since it is the precursor for catecholamine neurotransmitters in the brain. The biochemical conversion of Tyrosine is Dopa, then Dopamine, Norepinephrine, and Epinephrine. Pyridoxal 5’PhosphatE, the active form of B6, is necessary for this conversion. Low levels of Tyrosine in the blood show a direct correlation to depression and anxiety. Tyrosine is also a precursor to Thyroxine, and aids in the production of melanin as well. Abnormal metabolism of Tyrosine is associated with Albinism, since there is a deficiency of melanin production in this condition.

Directions: Take 1-4 capsules daily, as needed. For biochemical imbalances associated with depression, take 2 capsules at least 30 minutes before breakfast and 2 capsules 30 minutes before lunch, on an empty stomach. Take with fruit juice or water. Do not take with hot fluids, milk or any other dairy products. B-6 is necessary for proper metabolism and Montiff B-Complete or B-Long are recommended (except with Narcolepsy).
Interactions: Tyrosine is a natural amino acid and has been safely used for over 20 years with no adverse side effects; however, Tyrosine should not be used by individuals on MAO inhibitors or those with melanomas (since Tyrosine is involved in the production of melanin).
