Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid that our bodies can produce from another amino acid called phenylalanine. It serves as a precursor for several important compounds involved in skin health. Tyrosine is a key component in the synthesis of melanin, the pigment responsible for the color of our skin, hair, and eyes. It acts as a building block for melanin production, helping to protect our skin from harmful UV radiation. Tyrosine also exhibits antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect our skin cells from oxidative stress. Additionally, tyrosine is involved in collagen synthesis, the protein responsible for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. By providing the necessary building blocks, tyrosine supports the production of collagen, helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and promoting a youthful complexion. [13]
