Tyrosine - Substances Enhanced by

Alkaloids

 Tyrosine may enhance the effectiveness (potency) of Ephedrine: 

 Tyrosine may increase the effectiveness of Ephedrine by approximately 50%, permitting the effective dosage of Ephedrine to be reduced also by approximately 50%.

Amino Acids

 Tyrosine is the precursor for the endogenous production of L-Dopa (the Enzyme Tyrosine Hydroxylase catalyzes this conversion):  ^[1]

 Supplemental Tyrosine may enhance the effectiveness of supplemental L-Dopa in the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease.

Carbohydrates

 Tyrosine can be metabolized to form endogenous Glucose within the Liver after it has lost its amino group by transamination.
