📝 Description
Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid that serves as a precursor to neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine. It is available as a supplement and is also found in many foods and artificial sweeteners. While generally harmless, individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) must avoid it due to their inability to metabolize it.
