| DL-Phenylalanine Powder 100 grams Item Catalog Number: 132 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.
DL-Phenylalanine contains two forms of the amino acid phenylalanine. The "D" form is synthetically made to block a nervous system enzyme that amplifies pain signals. The "L" form is a natural substance found in protein-rich foods that bolsters the mood-elevating chemicals in the brain, such as dopamine and nor epinephrine.
