Tyrosine (L-form) is a non-essential amino acid, which is primarily required for the protein synthesis. This amino acid is the precursor of dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine; therefore the lower concentration of tyrosine could be a peripheral marker of the hyperdopaminergic condition hypothesized to explain psychosis. Tyrosine supplements can improve cognition, increase energy, reduce anxiety, reduce depression, reduce levels of pain.

Sample Use Guides
In adults, tyrosine (Aminosyn solution) is given for nutritional maintenance via peripheral vein at a final amino acid concentration of 3.5, 4.25 or 5% together with dextrose in concentrations of 5% to 10%. 5%, 7%, 8.5% and 10% solutions should only be infused via a central vein when admixed with sufficient dextrose. In pediatric patients, the amino acid mixture is administered in a 2.5% concentration.
