Overview
Phenylalanine, an essential amino acid, must be acquired from the diet as the body is unable to synthesize it. It is essential for making proteins, neurotransmitters, and other significant chemicals. However, phenylketonuria (PKU) patients' bodies are unable to effectively metabolise phenylalanine, which can accumulate in the body and cause neurological damage if not controlled with dietary restrictions. Meat, dairy, eggs, and some plant-based foods are among the food sources that contain phenylalanine.
