What is L-tyrosine?
L-tyrosine is an amino acid used as a precursor for the synthesis of the catecholamines dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE). DA and NE are depleted under stressful conditions, impairing cognitive function. L-tyrosine supplementation may help alleviate cognitive decline caused by acute stress by restoring catecholamine levels in the brain.
