Phenylalanine Benefits

Phenylalanine's benefits include:

Phenylalanine increases levels of certain neurotransmitters, which helps to normalise mood
Phenylalanine increases levels of specific neurotransmitters - norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine - which are all involved in the brain in various capacity as either excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters. This means that phenylalanine helps to ensure that there is a balance of the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain, which gives a normalised mood. Phenylalanine is converted into the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine, which promote alertness and a relaxed mind.

Phenylalanine helps with cognitive functions
Phenylalanine's role in regulation of neurotransmitters also helps the brain with its cognitive functions, especially with memory and learning.
Phenylalanine helps to relieve pain
Phenylalanine is useful as a pain reliever - it helps to relieve chronic pain by blocking more pain as time progresses (the opposite to most medication pain relievers).
