This does not mean, however, that taking tyrosine supplements will help any of these conditions.
This serious condition occurs in people whose bodies can't use the amino acid phenylalanine. It can lead to brain damage, including intellectual disability. People with PKU must avoid any phenylalanine in their diets.
Because tyrosine is made from phenylalanine, people with PKU can be deficient in tyrosine. Tyrosine is used in protein supplements for people with PKU, but most doctors don't recommend more tyrosine supplements. If you have PKU, your doctor will determine if you need more tyrosine and how much. Tyrosine is involved in the production of the stress neurotransmitters epinephrine and norepinephrine.
Some researchers believe that, under stress, the body isn't able to make enough tyrosine from phenylalanine. Some animal and human studies suggest that tyrosine supplements may help improve memory and performance under psychological stress. More research is needed. One study suggests that taking tyrosine may help you be more alert after sleep deprivation. Some athletes claim that tyrosine helps their performance.
However, there is no proof that this claim is true or safe. Because tyrosine helps the body produce the mood-influencing chemical dopamine, and because people who are depressed often have low levels of tyrosine, researchers thought that tyrosine might help treat depression.
However, studies have found that it has no effect. Preliminary research suggests that tyrosine kinase inhibitors may play a role in the treatment of thyroid cancer. Other studies suggest tyrosine kinase inhibitors may help improve lung function among people who have lung cancer or pulminary fibrosis. Tyrosine is found in soy products, chicken, turkey, fish, peanuts, almonds, avocados, bananas, milk, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, lima beans, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds.
Take tyrosine supplements at least 30 minutes before meals, divided into 3 daily doses. Taking vitamins B6, B9 folate , and copper along with tyrosine helps the body convert tyrosine into important brain chemicals. Many things that can either enhance or decrease your utilization or production of dopamine. High carbohydrate diets cause more glucose production and insulin, which can lead to insulin resistance, which excessively converts the use of dopamine into metabolites.
That can deplete the usable amount of dopamine in the brain. Also, stay away from an artificial sweetener called aspartame, Nutrasweet or Equal. If you have PKU the consequence of ingesting these chemicals inhibits phenylalanine to be broken down and can lead to brain damage. In the average person, without PKU, these chemicals can flood the system, and since an excessive amount of them jump on the same blood transporter to make their way to the brain, it can lead to dopamine deficiency.
Therefore, if you have an excess of aspartame in the system, it can significantly affect the production of dopamine. Since it competes with the natural process of L-Tyrosine conversion to L-Dopa, aspartame can deplete the amount of dopamine that you have to use. Dysbiosis of the gut bacteria, or having an unhealthy balance of good versus bad bacteria in the gut, can lead to leaky gut.
The consequence is that it leads to chronic inflammation and disallows good absorption of the nutrients that the body needs. And, therefore, decreases the production of dopamine by limiting the co-factors necessary for conversion.
Another important component to dopamine utilization and production is hormonal imbalances. Since hormones are essential for the basal ganglia area, any substantial nigra hormone deficiency can lead to a decrease in the production of dopamine.
For men, low levels of testosterone can affect dopamine production. In women, low levels of progesterone and estrogen that can affect the proper utilization and production of dopamine. Not having enough antioxidants in the body can substantially affect the area of the brain which is most vulnerable to oxidation, which can lead to chronic inflammation and can destroy neurons, thus interrupting the production of dopamine.
Antioxidants like glutathione are a good way to get the antioxidants necessary if you are deficient, and can be taken either in a liquid liposomal form or intravenously. But, only do so under the guidance of a qualified provider.
