Phenylalanine

Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid which directly effects on brain chemistry. [1] This essential amino acid is vital for health but human body can’t produce phenylalanine, so that bodily requirements can be fulfilled by supplementing phenylalanine. [2] Within a body Phenylalanine is converted into another amino acid tyrosine which can synthesize two key neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) dopamine and norepinephrine that promote alertness. [1] Phenylalanine can easily cross the blood-brain barrier and has a relationship to the action of central nervous system. [1]
