Meaning & History. English form of the Greek name ÏÎ¹Î¼Î¿Î¸ÎµÎ¿Ï (Timotheos) meaning honouring God, derived from ÏÎ¹Î¼Î±Ï (timao) to honour and Î¸ÎµÎ¿Ï (theos) god. Saint Timothy was a companion of Paul on his missionary journeys and was the recipient of two of Paul's epistles that appear in the New Testament. According to tradition, he was martyred at Ephesus after protesting the worship of Artemis.
Eggs and dairy. Many milk products are high in phenylalanine. Cheese and milk, in particular, contain over 1,000 mg/serving. Cream and cream cheese, which are higher in fat and lower in protein, contain lesser amounts, but still in excess of 100mg.
Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid and the precursor for the amino acid tyrosine. Like tyrosine, it is the precursor of catecholamines in the body (tyramine, dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine). The psychotropic drugs (mescaline, morphine, codeine, and papaverine) also have phenylalanine as a constituent.ower doses, as little as 1000 to 2000 mg, have been found to be effective clinically, as well as experimentally in animals. The minimum daily requirement for adults of tyrosine and its precursor, phenylalanine, is 16 mg/kg a day or about 1000 mg total. Hence, 6 g is at least six times the minimum daily requirement.
