1:13:12 - 1:25:26 (12:14)
In this podcast episode, the speaker discusses the cognitive benefits of taking L-tyrosine, particularly in conditions where dopamine levels are reduced due to stress or when trying to increase baseline levels of dopamine for improving cognitive function. Studies have shown that taking as little as 500 milligrams of L-tyrosine prior to cognitive or physical tasks can increase dopamine levels and improve performance on such tasks.
