L-Tyrosine is a free-form amino acid found in the blood and nervous system tissues . It is synthesized from the amino acid phenylalanine.
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are necessary for numerous internal functions of the body. They are divided into "essential" and "non-essential" amino acids.
Essential amino acids are those that the body cannot produce but must obtain from the diet to maintain good health.
The body can also use amino acids to createhormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, antibodies, and nutrient transporters.
An insufficient intake of essential amino acids increases the body's need for non-essential amino acids, which it must obtain through the diet. Foods that increase amino acid intake include meat, beans, cheese, and eggs.
Tyrosine is a precursor to the stress hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline , which are responsible for the body's "fight or flight" response. Chemical messengers involved in brain processes also use tyrosine.
