L-phenylalanine (or just simply phenylalanine) is only one of the twenty common amino acids used to form proteins. It is an essential amino acid, meaning it must be supplemented in an organism's diet. l-phenylalanine is mostly found in plants and protein rich foods like avocados, seeds, nuts, dairy products, fish, and poultry. Because of phenylalanine's ability to form proteins it has a long and useful biochemical pathway. l-phenylalanine produces tyrosine, which is a precursor to L-DOPA. L-DOPA is synthesized in the brain to form the three catecholamines: dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine (adrenaline). Studies have shown that phenylalanine aids memory, mood swings, and learning. It can also be used during the depressive phase of manic depression. Many people notice phenylalanine helps with chronic pain, and inconveniences like arthritis. It is also beneficial in many diseases linked to a malfunctioning central nervous system (CNS). L-phenylalanine is effective because it readily crosses the blood-brain barrier, only chemicals with this ability are able to directly effect brain functions. People who supplement phenylalanine have experienced a heightened mood, decreased appetite, and increased awareness. Phenylalanine Research and Studies
