Did you know that tyramine is a natural compound in plants and animals?
Unfortunately, high levels of it cause many health problems, such as

Tyramine belongs to a family called biogenic amines. These biogenic amines
are products of the “secondary” metabolism of amino acids. They play an
important role in many physiological processes, especially cellular processes.
Within the group of biogenic amines, noradrenaline and adrenaline are the
most important in vertebrates. At the same time, tyramine and octopamine are
more important in invertebrates.
In invertebrates, tyramine is produced in higher concentrations than those
found in vertebrates. However, this neurochemical was originally thought to be
