Phenylalanine is an amino acid, which are the building blocks of proteins in your body. This molecule exists in two forms or arrangements: L-phenylalanine and D-phenylalanine. They’re nearly identical but have a slightly different molecular structure. The L-form is found in foods and used to produce proteins in your body, while the D-form can be synthesized for use in certain medical applications . Your body is unable to produce enough L-phenylalanine on its own, so it’s considered an essential amino acid that must be obtained through your diet. It’s found in a wide variety of foods — both plant and animal sources. In addition to its role in protein production, phenylalanine is used to make other important molecules in your body, several of which send signals between different parts of your body. Phenylalanine has been studied as a treatment for several medical conditions, including skin disorders, depression and pain. However, it can be dangerous for people with the genetic disorder phenylketonuria (PKU).
