Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid and should be part of your daily diet. It is converted to L-tyrosine and is used to synthesize two excitatory neurotransmitters: norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and dopamine. These neurotransmitters contribute to mental alertness and vitality,

Phenylalanine stimulates endorphin production in the brain, elevating mood and promoting an overall "feel-good" effect similar to that experienced after exercise.
