Cabot Health Tyrosine Pure Mood Food 75g

DESCRIPTION:

Cabot Health Tyrosine Pure Mood Food

contains a highly potent and pure form of tyrosine that is free from any additives or fillers. Tyrosine is an amino acid required to produce essential brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that help support and enhance mood, concentration, memory, and alertness. This amino acid is critical for producing thyroid hormones and the synthesis of proteins, enzymes and muscle tissues in the body.

The benefits of Tyrosine:

• Improved mood: Tyrosine is required for the production of neurotransmitters - dopamine, adrenalin and noradrenalin. Studies have shown that these brain chemicals' deficiencies are correlated with an increased incidence of depression and other mood disorders. Tyrosine may act as a mood elevator, helping to stabilise mood and improve feelings of happiness and satisfaction.
  
• Increased focus and concentration: Due to tyrosine's involvement in neurotransmitter production, it may improve focus, motivation and concentration. Tyrosine could serve as a useful amino acid before exercise or work to help improve mental performance.
  
• Stress reduction: In times of stress, additional tyrosine may be needed, as stress depletes noradrenaline in the body. Tyrosine may assist in the management of stress and prolong the anti-stress effects of this brain chemical.
  
• Thyroid function: Tyrosine plays a critical role in the production of thyroid hormones T3 and T4. The thyroid gland is responsible for regulating metabolism, growth and development, body temperature and heart rate.
  
• Reduced cravings: Low dopamine levels have been associated with increased food cravings and excessive hunger. As dopamine works on the brain's reward centre, maintaining healthy dopamine levels may assist in the management of addiction. Tyrosine may be helpful for those with food or alcohol addiction.
  
• Healthy weight: Due to tyrosine's involvement in producing thyroid hormones, it may help maintain a healthy weight range. The thyroid is responsible for regulating metabolism and controlling the metabolic rate for fat burning. As this amino acid may also help control hunger and cravings, it could serve as a useful supplement as part of a weight-loss regime.
