Tyrosine is a constituent of amino sugars and amino lipids, which have important roles throughout the body. It is important to brain nutrition as it is a precursor of the neurotransmitters, dopamine and noradrenaline. It is also an important part of peptides, such as enkephalins, which serve as pain relievers in the brain. Tyrosine is the precursor for hormones such as thyroid hormone and is needed to manufacture the pigment, melanin.
Long chains of molecularly bonded individual amino acids form protein. The body must first break down these molecular (peptide) bonds for amino acid absorption to take place.
Solgar®'s free form amino acids are already in their simplest form (no peptide bonds), and can be readily absorbed into the bloodstream.
