With L-Tyrosine, Swanson offers a quality health food supplement .

L-tyrosine is a nonessential amino acid , meaning that the body can synthesize it from another amino acid called phenylalanine. It is one of the 20 standard amino acids used by cells to synthesize proteins .

L-tyrosine occurs naturally in various protein-rich foods, such as meats, dairy products, eggs, nuts, and legumes. In biochemistry, it is characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group attached to a benzene ring, which classifies it as an aromatic amino acid .

L-tyrosine plays a fundamental role in the structure and function of proteins in the body. It is also used as a precursor in the synthesis of other important molecules in the human body. Therefore, L-Tyrosine is a perfect dietary supplement for athletes who are concerned about their body composition .

Swanson L-tyrosine is manufactured through microbial fermentation , where bacteria such as Corynebacterium glutamicum are used to produce L-tyrosine in fermentation tanks. After fermentation, the L-tyrosine is recovered, purified to remove impurities, and crystallized into a fine, stable powder. This powder is then formulated into capsules with added excipients to improve stability and bioavailability . The final product is then encapsulated and subjected to rigorous quality controls .
