What is Swanson DL-Phenylalanine?

In our bodies there exist certain amino acids which are considered to be nutritive building blocks for proteins. Phenylalanine is one of those acids and it comes in several forms. What Swanson DL-Phenylalanine has done is combined those forms in one supplement to provide your mind and body with the support it needs.

This electrically neutral amino acid has an incredible range to move throughout your body as one of the fewer amino acids able to move across the body's blood-brain barrier. Once ingested, it travels through our intestines and liver and then into our brains stimulating a range of effects.

Effects like producing other amino acids such as Tyrosine; the amino acid which is, itself a precursor to important mood controlling neurotransmitters such as Dopamine and Norepinephrine. Both responsible for maintaining our moods and movement.

By binding with glutamates, Swanson DL-Phenylalanine can actually stimulate your AMPA receptors and help to block certain harmful enzymatic processes.
