Apologies on my (GP) supplement biased, but, if you wanted to know the the chemical formula (by the way, it's C9H11NO3) and who L-Tyrosine (in this instance) was discovered by (btw, it's Justus Von Liebig), then the excellent Wikipedia would be a far greater resource. Personally, I find it all rather interesting, however, considering that you're on the Gym Professor Blog, I would imagine your question is to why L-Tyrosine is an added ingredient in either your "fat loss" supplement or your "mental buzz" supplement?
Well, lets start with the "fat loss" supplement. Amongst many important functions, L-Tyrosine governs production of CCK (Cholecystokinin), which is an appetite suppressant (as well as a pain reduction chemical). That's it, short and sweet.
As regards the "mental buzz" supplements, L-Tyrosine acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter stimulant on the brain and central nervous system. Subsequently, it's often included as a major ingredient (along with caffeine) in "mental buzz" supplements (normally drink form).
Contraindications: Schizophrenics, hypertension, high blood pressure, melanoma.
