N-Acetyl Tyrosine provides support for the proper functioning of the nervous system, being a precursor of the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine

L-tyrosine is an amino acid required for protein synthesis and is a precursor to several important compounds, including thyroxine, melanin, and the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine. Dopamine and norepinephrine are important central nervous system hormones and transmitters that help maintain mood, attention, focus, and cognition. By increasing dopamine and norepinephrine at the cellular level, tyrosine can help maintain neurological health and improve mood, cognition, attention and memory. Also, L-Tyrosine is a powerful antioxidant and is believed to act as an adaptogen in conditions of physical and mental stress, also having the ability to normalize blood pressure. Studies show that tyrosine supplementation improves cognitive function, decreases physical symptoms of fatigue during exposure to physical stress, such as cold, altitude sickness, and some sleep-wake disorders.


N-acetyl tyrosine is an acetylated derivative of the amino acid L-tyrosine. Regular L-tyrosine is less stable and also less soluble in water, which can lead to reduced bioavailability. Acetylation improves its solubility and stability. N-Acetyl tyrosine supports brain function by supporting the synthesis of the catecholamines norepinephrine and dopamine (neurotransmitters). Vitamin B6 is essential for amino acid metabolism.

 

What are the benefits of using tyrosine?

 

Improvement of phenylketonuria

For some people, N-acetyl tyrosine is an essential amino acid. These are people who have phenylketonuria (PKU). PKU is a serious condition in which phenylalanine accumulates in the body. The main treatment for PKU is to restrict dietary sources of phenylalanine. Benefits, can also bring the use of L-tyrosine.

 

Mental alertness

N-acetyl tyrosine treatment can help people perform in stressful situations, such as exposure to extreme weather or performing complex cognitive tasks. In several studies, those who took tyrosine did not experience processing problems or memory deficits that would normally occur in difficult situations.

 

Coping with sleep deprivation

In one study, subjects were deprived of sleep for more than 24 hours. Those who took N-acetyl tyrosine performed much better on subsequent tests.

 

Antidepressant action

Because N-acetyl tyrosine is transformed into chemicals such as dopamine and norepinephrine, it can play an important role in relieving depression. A meta-analysis found that tyrosine could be effective in reducing symptoms of mild to moderate depression.

 

Other uses

N-acetyl tyrosine can also be administered in other situations such as alleviating premenstrual symptoms and increasing libido.



 

N-Acetyl Tyrosine Properties

 

• supporting the functions of the thyroid gland, by:
• support in reducing the manifestations associated with low thyroid activity (e.g.: weight gain, brittle hair and nails, involuntary muscle contractions, cold intolerance)
• maintaining the normal level of tyrosine
• supporting the functions of the adrenal glands, by:
• supporting the body against stress factors (maintains vitality, muscle energy and reaction capacity)
• favoring sexual functions and libido and offers support in limiting menstrual manifestations, by:
• maintaining normal levels of progesterone and testosterone
• supporting brain functions (at the brain level, L-tyrosine is converted into dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline, which maintain the health of dopaminergic neurons), through:
• maintaining the ability to concentrate and learn (supports attention, motivation, energy and decision-making ability)
• support in reducing symptoms such as fatigue and daytime sleepiness
• promoting mobility (offers support in reducing tremors and joint stiffness)
• maintaining the natural color of hair and skin; supports vision; offers support in the manifestations associated with the aging process and in the skin manifestations associated with the action of ultraviolet radiation (L-tyrosine is converted into melanin, a dark pigment present in the skin, hair and eye membranes)
