What is Solgar DLPA 500mg?

DL-Phenylalanine is a mixture of both the D and L forms of the amino acid phenylalanine. DLPA may have the unique ability to reduce the activity of the enzyme enkephalinase in the central nervous system, thereby sparing feel-good hormones such as endorphins and enkephalins. This formulation provides Free Form DLPA to promote optimal absorption and assimilation.

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.
