NOW Foods L-Phenylalanine 500mg - 120 Veg Capsules
About NOW Foods L-Phenylalanine 500mg - 120 Veg Capsules
NOW Foods L-Phenylalanine 500mg is a free-form essential amino-acid supplement formulated to support normal protein synthesis and healthy nervous-system function.
L-Phenylalanine is classified as an essential amino acid because the human body cannot produce sufficient quantities on its own. It must therefore be obtained through food or nutritional supplementation.
Each vegetarian capsule provides 500mg of free-form L-Phenylalanine. The free-form format provides the amino acid without requiring it to be separated from a larger protein molecule during digestion.
L-Phenylalanine is necessary for the normal synthesis of proteins. Proteins contribute to the structure and maintenance of muscles, tissues, enzymes and numerous other components within the body.
The body can convert L-Phenylalanine into the amino acid tyrosine. Tyrosine subsequently forms part of the normal pathway used to produce neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine.
Through its role as a tyrosine precursor, L-Phenylalanine provides nutritional support for the maintenance of a healthy nervous system.
The manufacturer recommends taking one capsule one to three times daily as needed, preferably between meals.
The bottle contains 120 vegetarian capsules. Depending on the selected dosage, one bottle provides approximately 40 to 120 days of use.
The current formula uses only a plant-based cellulose capsule as its other ingredient. The capsule is filled by weight without added fillers, although settling of the powder may naturally occur.
This product is Non-GMO, vegan and Kosher and is manufactured according to certified GMP quality standards.
