A lot of researchers believe that usually your normal intake
of tyrosine swamps another do-hickey that converts it to
dopamine/norepinephrine. i.e. you need more of the other
do-hickey (tyrosine hydroxylase) to utilize the tyrosine
supplementation.Also, as 3BE noted, tyrosine will not cross into the brain
if your body as high levels of circulating proteins.
Usually tyrosine needs to be taken on an empty stomach well
after a meal.John
