Description
N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine by Sowelo is a dietary supplement containing the acetylated form of the amino acid L-tyrosine. NALT (this form of L-tyrosine is purported to increase the availability of L-tyrosine to the nervous system. It also enhance effectiveness compared to the regular form) is used as a nootropic agent because it acts as a precursor to dopamine, an important neurotransmitter in the brain.
Dopamine plays a significant role in brain functions related to reward, motivation, and pleasure. It also crucial in modulating focus, motivation, cognitive flexibility, and emotional resilience. In addition to these properties, dopamine is one of the main regulators of motor control and body movement coordination, making it important for exercise and muscle performance as well. However, the improvement of cognitive abilities extends beyond situations where the mind is affected by the negative effects of stress. Regular intake of N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine leads to overall improvement in learning ability, as well as increased mental energy, concentration, and focus. Using NALT may be particularly useful during the performance of more demanding or stressful tasks.
This compound indirectly participates in the accumulation and removal of heavy metals such as lead or mercury, known for their adverse effects on our bodies when exposed to elevated levels of these elements. Thus, tyrosine helps maintain good well-being and regulates the function of important organs.
An additional function of NALT is its involvement in melanin production, which facilitates tanning and protects our skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation. Tyrosine also mediates in collagen production.
It has been shown that NALT may contribute to appetite reduction. As mentioned earlier, tyrosine is essential for the production of many hormones, making it crucial for modulating metabolism. It reduces appetite but also enhances the feeling of fullness, which can be helpful in combating overeating. Consequently, it speeds up achieving weight loss.
Tyrosine is a natural building block of the muscular system, as it is a component of muscle proteins. It has also been observed to play a significant role in muscle cell growth and regeneration processes.
