Why you'll love it

When you're under stress — whether it's a demanding deadline, sleep deprivation, or intense physical exertion — your brain burns through its catecholamine reserves (dopamine and norepinephrine) at an accelerated rate. As these neurotransmitters deplete, your focus wavers, motivation drops, and mental performance suffers.

L-Tyrosine provides the raw material to replenish those reserves. As the direct precursor to dopamine and norepinephrine, tyrosine supplementation has been shown in military and academic research to maintain cognitive performance under conditions that would normally degrade it: cold stress, sleep deprivation, extended multitasking, and high-pressure environments.

The U.S. military has studied tyrosine extensively and found it reliably improves working memory, cognitive flexibility, and mood during stressful operations. It's also a precursor to thyroid hormones (T3 and T4), which regulate metabolism and energy. If your brain needs to perform at its best when conditions are at their worst, tyrosine is your backstop.

Tyrosine

How much do I really need?

Take one 500mg capsule daily, ideally in the morning or early afternoon on an empty stomach for best absorption. Tyrosine competes with other amino acids for transport across the blood-brain barrier, so taking it away from protein-rich meals improves efficacy.
