Description: The pain reliever DLPA (D,L-phenylalanine) contains two forms of the amino acid phenylalanine. The 'L' form is a natural substance found in protein-rich foods; it's believed to bolster mood-elevating chemicals in the brain, such as dopamine and norepinephrine. The 'D' form of phenylalanine, on the other hand, is made synthetically in a laboratory; it appears to block a nervous system enzyme that amplifies pain signals. In other words, it may prevent the breakdown of the brain's natural narcotics. DLPA supplements combine the 'L' and 'D' forms of phenylalanine, packing a potent one-two punch, and quickly relieving minor depression and physical discomforts. Health Benefits Research indicates that DLPA can be an effective part of an overall program to fight chronic pain and beat the blues, including the mood swings of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). DLPA may be a more effective pain reliever when combined with GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid), a sedating amino acid that blocks pain signals in the brain.
