Tyramine

Tyramine is a biogenic amine that is formed from the amino acid tyrosine. Tyramine occurs naturally in oranges, bananas, spinach, chocolate, wine and cheese, for example. Taking the supplement causes more norepinephrine (NE)-a neurotransmitter that speeds up metabolism and the use of fat as a fuel source-to be released by nerve cells. New evidence suggests that tyramine may help increase leptin sensitivity, which can be hugely important when you're trying to get rid of body fat and curb hunger. As a tissue hormone, it also causes blood pressure to rise and uterine muscles to contract. Tyramine also occurs during the bacterial breakdown of proteins as a breakdown product of amino acids. People who have an increased individual sensitivity to tyramine react to this biogenic amine with a hypersensitivity reaction (food intolerance). Tyramine can then increase blood pressure and blood sugar in the body, excite the muscles and trigger migraines. The content of tyramine in foods increases as they mature

Dosage

Take 50-150mg tyramine 1-3 times a day.
