Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid that is also one of the aromatic amino acids that exhibit ultraviolet radiation absorption properties and is the most commonly found aromatic amino acid. Phenylalanine must be obtained from the diet as it is not made by the human body. The utilization of phenylalanine requires adequate levels of minerals and vitamins C and B complex. It has been found to help control appetite by stimulating the release of an appetite-suppressing substance from the wall of the small intestine, which is normally released when food has been consumed. Phenylalanine is used as a mood elevator since it is so closely involved with the nervous system. It also helps with memory and learning and has been used as an appetite suppressant. There are side effects associated with this ingredient which can include headaches, jitteriness, and phenylalanine may affect one's blood pressure, so supplementation through a health care practitioner is important. It is not recommended for long-term use and should not be taken for more than three weeks at a time without a break or without the support of the other amino acids. |
