Liquid Energy- Tyrosine

There are many amino acids that live in your body that work very hard behind the scenes.  The purpose of this blog article is to make “tyro seen”.  L-Tyrosine is an amino acid that spends his weekends in a factory helping to produce the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, thyroxin, and triiodothyronine.  Dopamine sends messages from the central nervous system to the brain and produces the reward sensation your body feels when something good happens unexpectedly like finding this blog!  Due to its dopamine production, research has been done to study tyrosine and use this amino acid to improve mood disorders such as depression.  Tyrosine is believed to help combat neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia.  Tyrosine is also known as the stress amino acid because it helps your body to cope with stressful situations.   

Wow, what a great blog!

Have you been feeling stressed and depressed recently?  If you have, it probably means you are a fan of the Indianapolis Colts or you’re in need of additional tyrosine in your diet.  When a stressful event, such as losing future Hall of Famer Peyton Manning, occurs, the body uses up its stores of tyrosine in an attempt to regulate your mood.  After depleting your body’s tyrosine stores, your body cannot produce the dopamine and norepinephrine which help to regulate your moods.

Is it time to become a Pacers fan?

 Tyrosine is also extremely effective in helping children with ADHD.  Tyrosine helps to regulate the transition between a child’s thoughts and behavior.  Studies have shown remarkable increases in mental performance and mood stability in children given dosages ranging from 200 to 500 mg a day.

 Tyrosine is extremely safe to take as a supplement and there are no known negative side effects.  For people suffering from mental problems, dosages up to 7 grams a day have been taken during studies with no problem.  Tyrosine can be found in protein, dairy products, wheat, and oats.  If you’re interested in supplementing tyrosine, we recommend you try Liquid Energy’s Get-Go-N Plus which contains 500mg of Tyrosine plus other essential B-vitamins which will promote enhanced energy and vitality.  It is one of the best sources of B vitamins, including tyrosine, due to the Biocellular Micellization process.
