Tyrosine May Shorten Men’s Lifespan
from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
New research reveals a surprising twist: tyrosine, the amino acid often touted for boosting focus and brain health, may actually shorten men’s lives—potentially by nearly a year. Found in protein-rich foods and supplements, tyrosine showed a strong link to mortality in a massive genetic study of over 270,000 people, but only in men. Women weren’t affected, possibly because men naturally have higher tyrosine levels. Scientists are now unraveling why—suspecting ties to stress response and insulin resistance—and are exploring whether dietary tweaks could help extend healthy aging.
