| Description | 2-Amino-3-(2-chlorophenyl)propanoic acid (2-Chloro-DL-Phenylalanine) is a phenylalanine derivative involved in biometabolism. |
| In vitro | Commercially used as ergogenic supplements, amino acids and amino acid derivatives such as 2-Amino-3-(2-chlorophenyl)propanoic acid have been recognized to be beneficial as ergogenic dietary substances. They influence the secretion of anabolic hormones, supply fuel during exercise, enhance mental performance during stress-related tasks, and prevent exercise-induced muscle damage[1]. |
