NOW Foods L-Tyrosine 500mg 120 Capsules

NOW® L-Tyrosine supplies 500 mg of free-form, pharmaceutical-grade L-tyrosine in each capsule. Tyrosine is a conditionally essential amino acid that serves as the raw material for several important messengers — the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine, as well as thyroid hormones. Because the body draws on these messengers during periods of stress and mental demand, tyrosine supports mental alertness and focus (especially when you're under pressure) and contributes to healthy glandular function, including the thyroid and adrenal glands.*

About the key ingredients

• L-Tyrosine (free-form) – 500 mg: A precursor to the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine and to thyroid hormones, supporting mental alertness and healthy glandular function.*
• Other ingredients: A capsule.

Who it's for

NOW® L-Tyrosine suits adults who want amino-acid support for focus, mental alertness and a healthy stress response, particularly during busy or high-pressure periods when the body draws heavily on its neurotransmitter reserves. Because tyrosine is also a precursor to thyroid hormones, it appeals to those interested in supporting healthy thyroid and adrenal function. It's usually taken earlier in the day and away from protein-containing meals, which can help absorption of the free-form amino.*

Suggested use

Take 1 capsule 1 to 3 times daily, preferably between meals.
