Identification
Name: L-Phenylalanine
Description:Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid and the precursor for the amino acid tyrosine. Phenylalanine is a precursor of the neurotransmitters called catecholamines, which are adrenalin-like substances. Normal metabolism of phenylalanine requires biopterin, iron, niacin, vitamin B6, copper and vitamin C. Phenylalanine and tyrosine, like L-dopa, produce a catecholamine effect.
