Tyrosine is not an essential amino acid, so our body is able to produce it, albeit in very small quantities, from the essential amino acid phenylalanine. It can also be found naturally in bananas, avocados, and most high-protein foods such as meat, dairy, and eggs.
Your body needs iodine to produce thyroxine. The hormones themselves contain 65% iodine. As a direct consequence, thyroid disease is more common in geographic regions with low iodine intake. We can also use products containing tyrosine for hypothyroidism (or underactive thyroid); Moreover, if the product also contains iodine, symptoms can be significantly reduced.
