Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid which is synthesised in the body from phenylalanine.
Anti- depressant
- Mild depression may be alleviated with tyrosine, as it is a precursor to dopamine.
- Most significant results are shown when tyrosine is combined with 5-HTP.
Anti-stress Effect
- Research suggests that tyrosine has adaptogenic properties, due to its being required for stress-regulating hormone synthesis.
- Military personnel who were given tyrosine daily performed better under stressful conditions compared to non-supplemented participants.
Appetite Suppression
- Tyrosine is considered to suppress appetite, thus a deficiency may result in an increased appetite.
Mental Health
- Tyrosine is a precursor for noradrenaline, thus supplementation may enhance mental alertness.
- Low levels of tyrosine are often seen in Alzheimer¿s disease.
Thyroid Hormone Synthesis
- Tyrosine is required to manufacture thyroid hormones and has potential for use in the management of hypothyroidism.
