Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid found in protein-rich foods like meat, fish, eggs, dairy, and some plant-based sources. In the body, phenylalanine is converted into tyrosine, which is a precursor for important neurotransmitters like dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline. People with phenylketonuria (PKU) have a genetic disorder that impairs their ability to metabolize phenylalanine properly.
