Jarrow Formulas N-Acetyl Tyrosine is a dietary supplement containing a specially developed formula of the amino acid L-tyrosine subjected to acetylation – N-acetyl L-tyrosine (NALT), characterised by great solubility and assimilability. Moreover, the product is fortified with vitamin B6 in the form of pyridoxine hydrochloride.

The preparation stimulates the synthesis of neurotransmitters, thanks to which it restores the optimal functioning of the brain, enhances psychomotor functions, affects the mood and emotional stability, and protects from cognitive dysfunctions.

The product is recommended for people who have problems with controlling their emotions or experience the feeling of weakness, and as aid in depression treatment. It is also advised for improving concentration, response time and the ability to focus during heavy physical and intellectual effort (sportspeople, blue- and white-collar workers, students); it is also fantastic in times of exhaustion and excessive stress. Moreover, the product supports the functioning of the thyroid gland, thanks to which it can support people with hypothyroidism.

N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine is an enhanced form of L-tyrosine, an endogenous amino acid that builds proteins and can be produced naturally by the organism in the presence of another amino acid – phenylalanine. L-Tyrosine plays the role of a precursor of catecholamines – dopamine, adrenaline and noradrenaline, which belong to major neurotransmitters of the central nervous system; the substance also participates in the synthesis of thyroid hormones.

L-Tyrosine and neurotransmitter synthesis
Neurotransmitters, also known as chemical messengers, are responsible for such aspects as the mood, emotions, consciousness, and desires. Their balance in the organism is crucial for maintaining mental health. Excessive stress, drugs, toxins, improper diet, improper sleep hygiene – those are some factors that have a negative effect on communication in the nervous system, distort the secretion of endogenous amino acids and, as a result, neurotransmitters, and can lead to many diseases (including depression, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease).

N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine is a substrate in the production of dopamine, adrenaline and noradrenaline. In order to understand better the symptoms of their deficiency, it is necessary to get familiar with their functions in the organism first.

Dopamine affects the level of the stimulation of the organism, the feeling of pleasure and euphoria, it coordinates the work of muscles, influences motivation and, together with noradrenaline, plays its part in the reward system in the brain, also called the mesolimbic system.

Noradrenaline and adrenaline also increase psychophysical activity and improve the mood. Moreover, noradrenaline stimulates metabolism and enhances blood circulation.

It is easy to conclude what the consequences of the deficiency of the neurotransmitters can be – problems with remembering, deteriorated memory, low motivation, worse regeneration, problems with weight loss, worse physical capacity, drowsiness, increased susceptibility to addictions and, in the case of long-lasting disorders, it can even lead to depression and other neurodegenerative ailments.

Effect of L-tyrosine on thyroid hormones
L-Tyrosine can also be used as aid in treating hypothyroidism. The amino acid supports the production of thyroid hormones – it is a substrate necessary for the production of thyroxine (T4). Low thyroid hormone levels can manifest themselves by, among other symptoms, low tolerance to physical effort, the general feeling of weakness and low mood, drowsiness, and problems with maintaining normal body weight.

Role of vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) participates in carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. Moreover, it affects the normal functioning of the nervous system, supports the immune system, and is crucial for the normal functioning of the heart and for muscle contractions. Vitamin B6 deficiency can lead to neurological lesions, fatigue, increased vulnerability to infections and skin problems.

To sum up, Jarrow Formulas, N-Acetyl Tyrosine is a dietary supplement whose beneficial effect will be especially appreciable for people who train actively and do intellectual work – but not only. The benefits of using the preparation will also prove helpful for people who are fatigued, weak and distressed, as well as those who find it difficult to lose weight. The product efficiently prevents neurotransmitter deficiencies and protects the organism from their harmful effects on health.
