Tyrosine is metabolically synthesized from the important amino acid phenylalanine to become the para-hydroxy derivative of phenylalanine. Tyrosine is a precursor of the adrenal hormones epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine and the thyroid hormones, including thyroxine. It is important in overall metabolism, aiding in the functions of the adrenal, thyroid, and pituitary glands. Tyrosine stimulates metabolism and the nervous system, acts as a mood elevator, suppresses the appetite, and helps reduce body fat, making it useful in the treatment of chronic fatigue, narcolepsy, anxiety, depression, low sex drive, allergies, and headaches.
