NOW Foods L-Tyrosine Powder 4 oz

NOW® L-Tyrosine Powder supplies pure, free-form L-tyrosine with no fillers. Tyrosine is a conditionally essential amino acid required for the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine, as well as thyroid hormones. Because the body draws heavily on these messengers during periods of stress and mental demand, tyrosine supports mental alertness and focus, particularly when you're under pressure, and it contributes to healthy glandular function, including the thyroid and adrenal glands. The adjustable powder is usually mixed into water earlier in the day.*

About the key ingredients

• L-Tyrosine (free-form): A precursor to the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine and to thyroid hormones, supporting mental alertness and healthy glandular function.*
• Other ingredients: Pure powder with no fillers, letting you adjust your serving to your needs.
