L-Phenylalanine
Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid that plays a critical role in protein biosynthesis and neurological health. Naturally found in many protein-rich foods, it is also available in synthetic form for nutritional and industrial use. The most common form is L-Phenylalanine, which is biologically active and often used in dietary supplements and pharmaceutical applications.
It serves as a precursor to tyrosine, which in turn supports the production of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Due to its role in brain function and mood regulation, L-Phenylalanine is frequently used in brain health supplements and therapeutic formulations.
Other names: (S)-2-amino-3-phenylpropanoic acid
