DL-Phenylalanine Plus Powder 100 grams

L-phenylalanine is an essential amino acid which can be converted to L-tyrosine by a complex biochemical process which takes place in the liver.
L-tyrosine can be converted by neurons in the brain to dopamine and norepinephrine (noradrenaline), hormones which are depleted by stress, overwork and certain drugs.
By replenishing norepinephrine in the brain, mental energy levels are enhanced and a feeling of contentment often occurs.
The conversion step from L-tyrosine to norepinephrine may be enhanced if the cofactors (vitamins B6 and C) are included.
Care with blood pressure should be taken when supplementing L-phenylalanine or L-tyrosine.*

Caution

Cancer patients should avoid taking L-phenylalanine and Ltyrosine. Certain cancers, such as melanoma, depend on these amino acids to fuel their growth. Supplemental use of L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine may raise or normalize blood pressure. Insomnia may occur from over-stimulation if taken too close to bedtime. Individuals with the rare metabolic disorder Phenylketonuria should avoid phenylalanine.
