L-Phenylalanine

L-Phenylalanine is the natural form of phenylalanine, an essential amino acid the body needs, but does not produce. L-Phenylalanine is converted in the body to tyrosine, another amino acid needed for proteins, thyroid hormones and chemicals related to brain health and mood. Phenylalanine and tyrosine—nutrients needed by the brain’s neurotransmitters—are among the few amino acids able to cross the blood-brain barrier to support brain health. In foods, look for it in beef, fish, poultry, dairy, soy, nuts and seeds.
