Description

Tyrosine, or L-tyrosine, is one of 20 amino acids that help build proteins. It is considered a “non-essential amino acid” because the body makes it from another amino acid called phenylalanine. This means you don’t need to get tyrosine from foods, although obtaining more from your diet can be helpful.

Tyrosine is an important precursor to neurotransmitters and substances like epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine, which means it helps the body produce chemicals that support your thyroid, energy and mood. This is why some people claim that taking this amino acid can help “speed up your metabolism.”
