What is Scitec Nutrition Tyrosine?
Scitec Nutrition Tyrosine is a single-ingredient L-tyrosine supplement in capsule form. Each capsule provides 500mg of L-tyrosine, so a serving of 2 capsules provides 1000mg. L-tyrosine makes up 76% of the capsule content, with dextrose as a filler. There are no flavourings or sweeteners. One 100-capsule pack provides 50 servings.
L-tyrosine is a conditionally essential amino acid that occurs naturally in foods, mainly as part of proteins. It is found in protein-rich foods, and the body can also form it from another amino acid, L-phenylalanine. Scitec’s Tyrosine capsules make it easy to dose in a practical format, for both men and women.
What is it used for?
L-tyrosine is used by athletes as a pre-workout amino acid. Scitec notes that it is popular to take pure L-tyrosine before workouts, especially together with caffeine.
Tyrosine is the raw material the body uses to make several important neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and noradrenaline, and thyroid hormones. This is why it is a common ingredient in pre-workout and energy products, and a pure capsule lets you control the dose separately and combine it with the other pre-workout products of your choice.
Pure L-tyrosine. 1000mg per serving. A pre-workout amino acid.
