Description

DL-Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid that can be synthesized in the body from phenylalanine or obtained from food. DL-Tyrosine is a precursor of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is involved in regulating mood, movement, and cognitive functions. DL-Tyrosine has been shown to inhibit the conversion of tyrosine to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) by dopamine β-hydroxylase. Tyrosine also prevents the formation of reactive oxygen species due to its chemical stability and ability to scavenge free radicals. DL-Tyrosine may have implications for treating Parkinson's disease, ADHD, depression, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
