Description

D-Phenylalanine, when dried, contains not less than 98.0% and not more than 101.0% of D-Phenylalanine(C9H11NO2).

Phenylalanine is an amino acid with the chemical formula C6H5CH2CH(NH2)COOH. It has two distinct forms known as enantiomers, including L-phenylalanine and D-phenylalanine. A mixture of these two enantiomers is called a racemic mixture of phenylalanine. L-phenylalanine is an essential amino acid that has many naturally occurring sources. Significant sources of D-phenylalanine generally do not occur in nature, so it must be synthesized in the laboratory. D-phenylalanine is not an essential amino acid, but it is one of the few D enantiomers of amino acids that are pharmacologically active.

Benefits

1.Neurological support
D-Phenylalanine may help support the normal functioning of the nervous system, according to some studies. This effect is especially useful for individuals over the age of 50.
2.Mood support
D-Phenylalanine can help support healthy mental functioning. Common issues in this category include low moods and difficulties with concentration.
