Product Code: LB8321 | |
Enhance your mental energy levels
By a complex biochemical process which takes place in the liver L-phenylalanine which is an essential amino acid can be converted to L-tyrosine .

By replenishing norepinephrine in the brain mental energy levels are enhanced and a feeling of contentment often occurs.
