The phenylalanine in NutriiVeda is the natural form found in proteins. Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid (a building block for proteins in the body), meaning the body needs it for health but cannot make it. You have to get it from food. Phenylalanine is found in three forms: L-phenylalanine, the natural form as found in NutriiVeda; D-phenylalanine (a mirror image of L-phenylalanine that is made in a laboratory), and DL-phenylalanine, a combination of the two forms.
