. As we saw in the previous posting on tyrosine supplementation for ADHD , the tyrosine to dopamine conversion requires one major enzyme (tyrosine hydroxylase) and several secondary enzymes (to produce some of the compounds needed to help the tyrosine hydroxylase enzyme to function properly), as well as nutrient co-factors such as iron, zinc, magnesium

Tyrosine: The tyrosine is an aromatic amino acid, which can absorb light. It is formed form phenylalanine by the reaction catalyzed by phenylalanine hydroxylase. The phenylalanine is essential amino acid but tyrosine is not, provided the diet contains adequate quantities of phenylalanine. The reaction is not reversible, so tyrosine cannot replace
