L-Tyrosine is a dietary supplement formulated to support weight loss, thyroid gland health, nervous system health, and promote mood and emotional balance. L-Tyrosine is available in capsules from Natura-Genics®.

How It Works

L-tyrosine is not considered an essential amino acid so it does not have to be consumed through food. Instead, it is made by the body using another amino acid, phenylalanine. L-tyrosine helps build proteins in the body and produces enzymes, thyroid hormones, and neurotransmitters.

Benefits of L-tyrosine

• Supports thyroid health
• Supports weight loss
• Promotes nervous system health
• Promotes mood and emotional well-being

Supports Thyroid Gland Health

L-tyrosine aids in producing thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4), and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroxine, initially inactive, gets converted to the active form, T3, by organs like the liver and kidneys. These hormones are crucial for regulating metabolic rate, heart health, digestion, muscle and bone strength, brain development, and reproductive functions. Additionally, they play a role in maintaining body temperature.

Supports Weight Loss

Thyroid hormones affect the rate at which the body uses calories (energy). This affects weight loss and weight gain. L-tyrosine is also important in the production of the neurotransmitter dopamine, also known as the “happy hormone”. Many people turn to food for comfort and satisfaction. Adequate amounts of dopamine may assist in avoiding compensatory food intake and may help promote weight loss.

Supports Nervous System Health

L-tyrosine helps make several important substances for the nervous system including dopamine and adrenaline. Recent studies have shown that dopamine is also an important brain chemical for memory and motor skills. Adrenaline is responsible for the “fight-or-flight” response that comes into play under stress or when feeling afraid.

Promotes Mood and Emotional Balance

L-tyrosine is believed to assist in alleviating some symptoms of depression. Depression is thought to occur when neurotransmitters in the brain are unbalanced. Some studies have shown that l-tyrosine has a positive role in depression management. Healthy levels of dopamine support feelings of reward and pleasure while low levels of dopamine are associated with low motivation and decreased enthusiasm.
