<2> Tyrosine Supplement Tied to Shorter Lifespan in Men
Researchers have made a startling discovery about the potential impact of a popular brain supplement on men’s lifespan.
A massive study of more than 270,000 people has uncovered a surprising link between a common amino acid and how long men live.
The research, published in the journal Nature, found that higher levels of tyrosine—an amino acid found in protein-rich foods and often marketed as a focus-boosting supplement—were associated with shorter life expectancy in men.
According to the study, men with higher levels of tyrosine had a nearly 1-year shorter lifespan compared to those with lower levels.
The study’s findings have significant implications for men who regularly consume tyrosine supplements or eat a diet rich in protein.
While the study did not find a similar link between tyrosine levels and lifespan in women, the researchers cautioned that more research is needed to understand the potential effects of tyrosine on women’s health.
