Solgar® DLPA 500 mg (DL-Phenylalanine) Vegetable Capsules contain DLPA, a mixture of the natural form of Phenylalanine (L form) with its mirror image (D form).

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are needed in several internal functions of the body. They are classified as “essential” or “non-essential”, with essential amino acids meaning they cannot be manufactured by the body and must be supplied in the diet to maintain good all-round health. Amino acids can be further used by the body to create hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, antibodies and nutrient carriers. A suboptimal intake of the essential amino acids increases the body’s need for the non-essential amino acids either through diet or supplementation. Foods that increase amino acid intake are meat, beans, cheese and eggs.

Solgar DLPA 500mg DLPA may supports the production of feel good hormones; endorphins and enkephalins, by blocking the enzyme enkephalinase in the central nervous system

DLPA may also support the production of adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine which may help encourage positive energy levels, mood and motivation to work throughout the day. This formulation provides free form DLPA to support optimal absorption and assimilation.
