It just seems logical....  |
The enzyme that turns L-tyrosine in to L-dopa is tyrosine 3-monooxygenase (commonly called tyrosine hydroxylase).
The enzyme that turns L-dopa in to dopamine is L-aromatic amino acid decarboxylase (commonly called dopa decarboxylase).
In order to increase the levels of these enzymes, or in fact virtually any enzyme, you can not correct the problem by consuming them because enzymes are broken down as they enter the body.
