L-Tyrosine is a nonessential amino acid that is used by the body to synthesize proteins. The name "Tyrosine" comes from the Greek word for cheese, "Tyros," because it was first isolated from cheese in 1864. Tyrosine is present in many protein-rich foods such as cheese and dairy products, meat, poultry, and fish.
L-Tyrosine helps the body produce enzymes, thyroid hormones, and the skin pigment melanin. It also helps the body produce neurotransmitters that helps nerve cells communicate. Tyrosine is particularly important in the production of epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine.
