L-phenylalanine combines with tyrosine with the help of vitamin B6 to produce phenylethylamine which we find in chocolate. One study from 1986 showed that thirty-one of forty depressed patients with low levels of phenylethylamine responded well to large doses of L-phenylalanine (up to 14 g a day), making it an acceptable antidepressant (and an antidote for chocolate cravings).
