L-tyrosine is an amino acid that plays an important role in the production of the neurotransmitters that regulate emotions, help suppress appetite, and helps the brain produce adequate amounts of the neurotransmitter L-dopa, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.

About L-Tyrosine
If levels of these neurotransmitters are insufficient, feelings of sadness, anxiety, irritability and frustration can result. In addition, dopamine helps suppress appetite and reduce body fat, so people with insufficient levels of this neurotransmitter may find they are gaining weight or struggling to lose it. Another way L-Tyrosine benefits the body is by converting thyroid hormone to adrenaline during times of stress. Someone who is chronically stressed can have depleted levels of L-Tyrosine.

Note: Neurotransmitters can become depleted by too much caffeine, sugar, or alcohol. Prescriptions drugs can also interfere with neurotransmitter production.

Source: L-Tyrosine is found in many foods containing proteins, such as meats, dairy products, fish, wheat and oats.
