N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine

Unlock peak cognitive performance under pressure: Clinical studies demonstrate N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine (NALT) enhances memory and focus by up to 15% during stress, reduces cortisol by 10%, and sustains mental clarity even during sleep deprivation—making it the premier amino acid for maintaining cognitive resilience when you need it most.
