A member asked:
Can the body store the extra amount of the tyrosine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Tyrosine is not stored. The body has a way of making it directly, so it is not an "essential amino acid, " meaning one that you have to get from food. It gets caught up in a number of different systems in the brain and the rest of the body, and what doesn't get used gets metabolized and excreted.
