Phenylalanine is an amino acid that is commonly abbreviated as F or Phe. All phenylalanine molecules have the chemical formula C6H5CH2CH(NH2)COOH, although their exact structure may vary. Phenylalanine exists in two different forms, which are called D-phenylalanine and L-phenylalanine. These forms are known as enantiomers of phenylalanine, which are structural mirror images of each other. The structures of phenylalanine were established during the late 19th century, beginning in 1879.
L-phenylalanine is an essential amino acid, meaning that it is necessary for human life but can’t be synthesized in the body. The DNA codons for L-phenylalanine are UUC and UUU. L-phenylalanine is primarily used to synthesize proteins, although it also serves many biochemical functions directly. It has many dietary sources, especially meat and dairy products. Additional sources of L-phenylalanine include leafy green vegetables.
D-phenylalanine isn’t an essential nutrient, although it is one of the few D enantiomers of amino acids that are pharmacologically active. This activity is generally the result of inhibiting the action of enzymes. D-phenylalanine generally isn’t found in nature and is produced only in the laboratory.
A mixture of more than one enantiomer of the same chemical is known as a racemic mixture. Phenylalanine is commercially available in racemic form, which is commonly known as DL-Phenylalanine. Each enantiomer of phenylalanine provides separate health benefits.
The health uses for DL- phenylalanine generally deal with its effect on neurotransmitters. Typical applications include the relief of discomfort, support of healthy energy levels and the management of stress.
Chronic discomfort is one of the most significant signs that you may need DL-phenylalanine supplements, especially when it’s the result of an infection or injury. Low energy levels and sleep disturbances are also an indication that you may benefit from DL-phenylalanine.
Conditions that deplete the body’s natural supply of neurotransmitters may mean that you need DL-phenylalanine. These conditions include stress and the use of drugs such as caffeine and nicotine.
L-threonine - Threonine an amino acid with the chemical formula HO2CCH(NH2)CH(OH)CH3. It is most common uses derive from its role as a precursor for glycine, which provides many neurological benefits.
5-HTP - 5-HTP and oxitriptan are common names for 5-hydroxytryptophan, which has various direct biological functions in the body. This amino acid is also the precursor for essential neurotransmitters, including melatonin and serotonin.
