Tyrosine is used in the nervous system to make a class of neurotransmitters called catecholamines: dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine. Epinephrine, made from tyrosine in the adrenal medulla, functions as a neurohormone and is known as adrenaline.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn addition to acting as a neurotransmitter that supports healthy mood and sleep, norepinephrine is now known to protect brain cells by promoting a healthy inflammatory response, inhibiting oxidative stress and supporting healthy neuronal growth and connectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"All Life Extension Products\" href=\"https:\/\/betterhealthinternational.net\/collections\/life-extension\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: var(--colorlink); text-decoration: underline; background: 0px 0px #ffffff; outline: 0px; text-underline-offset: 2px; font-family: 'Harmonia Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 0.475px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\" data-mce-style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: var(--colorlink); text-decoration: underline; background: 0px 0px #ffffff; outline: 0px; text-underline-offset: 2px; font-family: 'Harmonia Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 0.475px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/betterhealthinternational.net\/collections\/life-extension\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold;\" data-mce-style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCheck out all other Life Extension Products\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDopamine, though long associated with more primal aspects of brain function linking behaviors to rewards, is recognized now as a mediator of higher-order cognitive capacities.The diminishment in brain catecholamine production that occurs with aging may be a contributing factor in normal age-related cognitive decline.
