Short answer

We found no documented interaction between Tyrosine and Vitamin C in the sources below. That isn't proof the combination is right for you: check each one's cautions, and ask your pharmacist if you take medication.

Tyrosine

What it is: An amino acid the body uses to make dopamine and noradrenaline.

What the research says: It may help thinking during short, stressful or demanding tasks. Benefits for exercise or medical conditions appear small; reviews call the evidence weak.

Cautions

  • The reviews we used don't report safety data.

Medicines to check

  • Talk to your clinician if you take any medicine

Vitamin C

What it is: An antioxidant vitamin the body needs to make collagen, absorb iron from plant foods and support the immune system.

What the research says: Vitamin C is essential; supplements make sure you get enough if your diet falls short.

Cautions

  • Adults shouldn't exceed 2,000 mg a day; too much can cause diarrhea, nausea and cramps.
  • People with hemochromatosis should avoid high doses.

Medicines to check

  • Chemotherapy and radiation: check with your care team first
  • In one study, antioxidants including vitamin C reduced the benefit of a statin plus niacin
