NOW Foods L-Phenylalanine 500mg 120 Veg Capsules

NOW® L-Phenylalanine supplies 500 mg of free-form L-phenylalanine in each vegetarian capsule. Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid the body cannot make on its own. It serves as the raw material from which the body produces tyrosine and, in turn, the important "catecholamine" neurotransmitters — dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine — that influence mood, motivation, focus and alertness. Through this pathway, supplementing with phenylalanine supports mental alertness and a positive, engaged state of mind.*
