Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid that can be converted into L-tyrosine in the liver. Tyrosine is used in the nervous system to create a class of neurotransmitters called catecholamines: dopamine, norepinephrine, and adrenaline. Epinephrine, produced from tyrosine in the adrenal medulla, acts as a neurohormone and is known as adrenaline.


In addition to acting as a neurotransmitter that supports healthy mood and sleep, norepinephrine is now known to protect brain cells by promoting a healthy inflammatory response, inhibiting oxidative stress, and supporting healthy neuronal growth and connectivity.


Dopamine, while long associated with the more primal aspects of brain function linking behavior to reward, is now recognized as a mediator of higher cognitive abilities. deterioration of cognitive functions. Providing catecholamine precursors can help maintain healthy cognitive functions. The enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of tyrosine to dopamine can work more efficiently if its cofactors (vitamins B6 and C) are taken into account.


Phenylalanine supplementation supports the synthesis of normal neurotransmitters, and clinical studies suggest that it may promote a positive mood.

Since both norepinephrine and epinephrine can cause smooth muscle (arterial) spasms, caution should be exercised with regard to blood pressure when phenylalanine supplementation.
