Most low-cat people will experience wonderful results with tyrosine; however, a small minority may not respond to tyrosine alone. Tyrosine can be converted from another amino acid, called phenylalanine, which is also plentiful in high-protein foods. Phenylalanine converts into tyrosine and several other important brain- and body-regulating biochemicals. Like tyrosine, it is available as a supplement and can be used instead of tyrosine, if tyrosine turns out, after a day or so, not to be as helpful as you’d like. You might do better on one amino than the other, or do best combining the two. If you want to try phenylalanine, start with a 500-milligram capsule and increase as needed. Stop taking it if it also causes any discomfort or does not provide benefits.
