L-Tyrosine is a precursor of thyroid hormones and it also assists in the function of the glands responsible for making and regulating hormones, including the adrenal, thyroid and pituitary glands. L-Tyrosine is, therefore, useful to improve thyroid function, for stress management, to increase low energy levels, for increased alertness, as an appetite suppressant, and to increase sexual desire.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePharmacological Action:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eL-Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid that the body synthesises from L-Phenylalanine. For people with phenylketonuria who cannot synthesize L-Tyrosine from L-Phenylalanine, L-Tyrosine is an essential amino acid. Tyrosine is a precursor of thyroxine and melatonin. It is also a precursor in the synthesis of catecholamines, norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine. L-Tyrosine is classified as a large neuronal amino acid (LNAA) and competes with other LNAA’s, such as L-Tryptophan, to get in the brain. It has been suggested that the brain cannot produce enough tyrosine from L-Phenylalanine under stress. Cathecholamines like epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine that are synthesised from L-Tyrosine can become depleted through stress. Increasing the availability of L-Tyrosine in the brain during times of stress can reduce the damaging effects of stress. Studies have indicated that supplemental L-Tyrosine may improve memory, performance and learning under stress.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use\u003cspan\u003e Solal Tyrosine capsules\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"display: inline !important;\"\u003eTo enhance thyroid function: \u003c\/p\u003e\nAdults: Take 2 capsules twice daily.                        Children 7 – 12 years: Half the adult dose.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMood enhancing and for energy: Adults: Take 4 capsules twice daily.                  Children 7 – 12 years: Half the adult dose.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor increased mental alertness: Adults: Take 4-8 capsules twice daily.                   Children 7 – 12 years: Half the adult dose.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor improved sexual desire: Adults: Take 4-8 capsules twice daily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake on an empty stomach (30 minutes or more before meals).
