Benefits
Tyrosine is required for the synthesis of the neurotransmitters dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine; all of which play a significant role in normal, healthy nervous system function.†
Tyrosine serves as a precursor to the skin, eye, and hair pigment melanin. Melanocytes convert tyrosine into melanin.†
PKU (phenylketonuria) is a genetic disorder where phenylalanine cannot be metabolized, causing it to build up. This typically causes damage to the central nervous system. In these individuals, tyrosine becomes a conditionally-essential amino acid that needs to be consumed in the diet.†
The body uses tyrosine to make thyroxine, a thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormones are made up mostly of tyrosine with iodine molecules attached to it. Thyroid hormones help control the body’s metabolic processes.†
