Tyrosine is a non essential amino acid that plays an important role in the function of the adrenal, pituitary and thyroid glands which controls hormone production in the body. Tyrosine is often prescribe by nutritionists to help with depression, sexual function and sex drive and some studies report success in affecting human growth hormone release. Tyrosine also reportedly improves memory and increases mental alertness. Tyrosine can be synthesized by the body from phenylalanine. Best food sources include soy products, chicken, turkey, fish, peanuts, almonds, avocados, bananas, milk, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, lima beans, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds. The dosage most commonly recommended is 500 to 1000 mg three
times a day before meals.
Protein Supplements The importance of protein supplementation is critical to any individual looking to build and maintain muscle mass. Protein has been called "the building blocks of life," and without proper protein supplementation the task of building and maintaining muscle mass is next to impossible. The biggest problem that's faced with the consumption of protein by way of whole foods is mostly convenience. I like to take my protein or meal replacement with me to the gym and mix it up after my work out to get my post work out meal. It is of vital importance to get nutrients into your blood stream as quickly as possible after your work out to optimize your size and strength gains. By using protein supplements you quickly consume and digest needed amounts of proteins to help you grow and recover from your workout.
