Tyrosine is an important amino acid. Like other amino acids, tyrosine is utilized as a building block for proteins and is a precursor for neurotransmitters. It is needed to make epinephrine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine. Since these chemicals help regulate mood, a deficiency in tyrosine can impact the way you feel.

Research has shown that tyrosine functions as an adaptogen. Adaptogens help the body cope with stress and return it to a normal balance.
