Tyrosine for Neurotransmitters and Thyroid Hormone

Hypothyroidism and depression are related on many levels. For instance, the

neurotransmitter serotonin and thyroid hormone, both T3 and T4, are

inextricably related, in that the main building block for both is the amino

acid tyrosine, the same amino acid needed for the neurotransmitter

norepinephrine, which stabilizes mood and anxiety. This means it is quite

possible that low thyroid function can deplete your body of serotonin and

other mood-stabilizing neurotransmitters. It also means that chronic

depression and sadness may deplete your body of tyrosine stores and T3,

which is also necessary to maintain healthy mood and energy.
