Info: 120 Veg. Capsules (500 mg)
L-Phenylalanine is a precursor to several important neurotransmitters (known as the "catecholamine-triad") which can get depleted by sleep deprivation or extreme stressors like heat or cold. It can help replenish those levels without causing an imbalance, which may improve your mood, working memory, and productivity and lessen anxiety.

Product Notes:
L-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid, meaning that our body cannot synthesize this compound naturally and must obtain it from dietary sources such as fish, meat, eggs, cheese, and milk. However, some individuals may require supplementation of this amino acid due to insufficient dietary intake or increased physiological need.
L-Phenylalanine may have a key role in supporting mood and brain function. It is a precursor to the amino acid tyrosine, which not only plays an important role in the synthesis of proteins (which is needed to build and maintain muscles), but also in the production of several important neurotransmitters, such as epinephrine (which underlies the 'fight-or-flight' stress response), norepinephrine (which is involved in attentiveness, sleeping, dreaming, and learning), and L-dopa (which in turn produces dopamine, which is sometimes characterized as a 'feelgood' hormone, which may also help you to concentrate and organize your thoughts better).
