What is L-Phenylalanine?
L-Phenylalanine (CAS 63-91-2) is an essential amino acid, meaning it cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be obtained through diet or supplementation. It serves as a critical building block for proteins and is a precursor to several key neurotransmitters.
In the industrial context, this L-Phenylalanine powder is a vital ingredient. It is widely used in the production of dietary supplements, food and beverage products (particularly as a component in the sweetener Aspartame), and pharmaceutical intermediates. Sourcing from a reliable L-Phenylalanine manufacturer is crucial for ensuring consistency and efficacy in your end products.
The Efficacy of L-Phenylalanine
As a fundamental raw material, L-Phenylalanine serves multiple functions in end-products formulated for human health and nutrition:
- Precursor to Neurotransmitters: It is converted in the body to L-Tyrosine, which is then used to synthesize key neurotransmitters like dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. These compounds are essential for mood regulation, mental alertness, and cognitive function.
- Protein Synthesis: As an essential amino acid, it is incorporated into structural proteins and enzymes throughout the body, supporting muscle maintenance, tissue repair, and overall growth.
- Support for Skin Health: It is involved in the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin and hair color, and is sometimes included in topical formulations for its potential skin benefits.
How We Ensure Premium Quality
At Oclean Nutra, our commitment to quality is non-negotiable. Our L-Phenylalanine powder is produced under a certified quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous in-house and third-party testing using advanced methods like HPLC to verify identity, potency (typically ≥99%), and purity. We guarantee that our product meets strict specifications for heavy metals, microbiological contaminants, and residual solvents, ensuring it is safe for your formulations. Request the full Certificate of Analysis to verify our quality standards.
Sources of Our L-Phenylalanine
We offer L-Phenylalanine derived from fermentation processes, which is the industry standard for producing a high-purity, vegan-friendly, and non-GMO ingredient. This method ensures a consistent and sustainable supply, free from animal-derived sources, making it suitable for a wide range of product labels and consumer preferences.
Safety and Compliance
Our L-Phenylalanine complies with major international standards for food and nutraceutical ingredients. It is manufactured in facilities that adhere to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) guidelines. While it is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food, it is essential for manufacturers to provide appropriate labeling, particularly for individuals with Phenylketonuria (PKU).
