L-Tyrosine 1000 mg
GNC
Overview
L-Tyrosine is an amino acid that the body uses to produce catecholamines such as dopamine and norepinephrine. These neurotransmitters can become depleted during stressful or cognitively demanding conditions. Supplementation with L-tyrosine aims to replenish these neurotransmitter levels, potentially improving cognitive function under stress. However, it has a mixed track record with some studies showing that it does not improve cognitive function without an acutely stressful or demanding condition.
