Phenylalanine questions
Q. My wife has been taking a supplement with
combination of 200mg of L-Tyrosine and 300mg of DL
Phenylanaline for over a year
with positive results. She recently stopped taking it. What effects, depression
for example, are likely if such a treatment is suddenly stopped?
A. Each person is different, some may experience hardly any
withdrawal symptoms while others may find low energy or mood, but human research
is lacking in this area so we can't say much more with confidence.
Q. Does the phenylalanine in diet sodas convert to
tyrosine?
A. Possibly, but we suspect the amount of phenylalanine in diet
sodas is not that high.
