Tyrosine Supplements And Short Life Span

                                           

                                         

 

 

                                 Brain Supplement Tyrosine Linked To Shorter Life Span
 

  

 

A large new study suggests that higher levels of a common amino acid called tyrosine may be linked to a shorter lifespan in men.

The research, published recently in the journal Aging-US, examined whether blood levels of two amino acids, phenylalanine and tyrosine, were connected to how long people live.

Amino acids are building blocks of protein. They are found in protein-rich foods such as milk, eggs and meat, and are also sold as dietary supplements.

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong and the University of Georgia analyzed health and genetic data from more than 270,000 people in the U.K. Biobank, a large long-term health study in the U.K.

At first, both amino acids appeared to be tied to a higher risk of death. But after closer analysis, only tyrosine showed a strong and consistent link, specifically in men.

Vitamin C And Human Body

 

                  Animals Can Produce Vitamin C In The Body 

Most animals can produce Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in the liver from glucose. The final step of this pathway requires the enzyme:

                                                      L-gulonolactone oxidase (GULO)

 

 

         Humans Cannot Synthesize Vitamin C In The Body

 Humans lack a functional GULO enzyme because the GULO gene is mutated and inactive (a pseudogene). The mutation occurred about 40–60 million years ago in a common ancestor of primates. Since their diet was rich in fruits (high in Vitamin C), there was no evolutionary pressure to maintain the enzyme.

Prime Minister

Narendra Modi is considered the father of the Protein Revolution in India. Coined alongside former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley around 2014–2020, this initiative serves as a technology-driven "second Green Revolution" aimed at increasing the production of protein-rich foods, including pulses, dairy, and fish
