DL Phenylalanine is not a vitamin, it is an amino acid. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. This amino acid, when taken as a supplement, can reduce pain, increase alertness, improve mood and may help Parkinson's disease. My source for this info is 'Prescription for Nutritional Healing" by Phyllis Balch.

Phenylalanine is a bulky hydrophobic amino acid, which can be incorporated into proteins like any other amino acid. It can also be converted to tyrosine which is a precursor of dopamine and adrenalin.
