PURPOSE
Ingestion of tyrosine (TYR), a catecholamine precursor, has previously improved aspects of cognitive function and mood during acute stress, although there is limited research exploring the…

Effect of tyrosine ingestion on cognitive and physical performance utilising an intermittent soccer performance test (iSPT) in a warm environment
- PsychologyEuropean Journal of Applied Physiology

The results show that TYR ingestion is associated with improved vigilance and RTIME when exposed to individualised soccer-specific exercise (iSPT) in a warm environment, which suggests that increasing the availability of TYR may improve cognitive function during exposure to exercise-heat stress.

Ingestion of a TYR solution did not influence time to exhaustion or several aspects of cognitive function when exercise was undertaken in a warm environment.
The brain and fatigue: New opportunities for nutritional interventions?
- PsychologyJournal of sports sciences

The possibility that amino acid ingestion may help to attenuate a loss in cognitive function during the later stages of a game would be desirable, even in the absence of no apparent benefit to physical performance.

A cross-sectional association between habitual tyrosine intake levels in daily nutrition and cognitive performance (WM, Gf, and EM) is extended to corroborates nutritional recommendations that are thus far derived from single-dose administration studies.
Effects of military training on plasma amino acid concentrations and their associations with overreaching
- BiologyExperimental biology and medicine
- 2020
The results suggest that alterations in the levels of three metabolically important amino acids, alanine, glutamate and arginine, and the possibly neuroactive tyrosine and tryptophan might explain some of the physical and psychological symptoms of overreaching.

The idea that in humans protein or carbohydrate meals do not alter plasma amino acid levels sufficiently to cause appreciable changes in CNS tryptophan levels or 5‐hydroxytryptamine synthesis is supported.

Tyrosine injection appears to reduce blood pressure via an action within the central nervous system, since the effect can be blocked by co-administering other large neutral amino acids that reduce tyrosine's uptake into the brain.
