What’s the difference between L-Phenylalanine and L-Tyrosine?
L-Phenylalanine is a dietary essential that can convert to L-Tyrosine; tyrosine then contributes to neurotransmitter synthesis.

When should I take it?
Between meals for best absorption; separate from protein-heavy meals if possible.

Is it suitable for vegans?
Yes — uses a cellulose (hypromellose) capsule.
