Phenylalanine DLPA Supplements
An amino acid supplement to support pain
management and proper mood balance
DLPA (DL-Phenylalanine) is a 50/50 blend of L-phenylalanine and
D-phenylalanine (DPA). Researchers believe DPA inhibits the action of an enzyme
that breaks down endorphins and enkephalins - proteins that bind to opiate
receptor sites in the brain, thereby influencing the perception of discomfort.
By obstructing the action of this enzyme, DPA may extend the life of endorphins
and enkephalins, and their positive influence on comfort levels.
L-Phenylalanine is an essential, nine-carbon amino
acid and is a precursor to the amino acid tyrosine. Because tyrosine is
necessary for the synthesis of proteins and the production of the
neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine, phenylalanine is an extremely
important nutrient that must be obtained through the diet or supplementation.
