Advice of the nutrition expert

Currently and for a long time, the first prescription given during stress or anxiety was benzodiazepines, an anxiolytic. However, anxiolytics are only "masks" which erase the symptoms of anxiety but do not intervene in any way on the nervous system. In addition, their effect is always temporary and their regular intake can lead to dependence and the appearance of unpleasant symptoms when stopping their intake (anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, tremors. ) Today, nutrition is finally recognized as a form of medication. Taking L-tyrosine during times of stress helps maintain levels of norepinephrine and dopamine, which usually drop during stress and cause fatigue. This type of "medication" is natural, healthy and does not cause any addiction unlike anxiolytics. Plus, L-tyrosine doesn't just cure "the symptoms," it helps prevent fatigue and lessens the effects of stress over the long term.

Tyrosine is a food supplement that is interesting to use for people who are stressed, tired and have a "negative" environment. It can also be used to support thyroid function
