L-tyrosine is a “conditionally essential” amino acid that can be converted in the brain into the neurotransmitter dopamine (L-tyrosine can cross the blood brain barrier).1 L-tyrosine is also a precursor for the adrenal hormones norepinephrine and epinephrine.1 These can all be depleted by stress, overwork and certain drugs.2, 3 By replenishing these in the brain, one may experience increased mental energy and focus.2,3 L-tyrosine also acts as a precursor to thyroid hormones, the skin and hair pigment melanin, and pain modulators known as enkephalins.4 L-tyrosine deficiency may contribute to gray hair, low thyroid hormone levels, and mental fatigue.
