Doctor’s Best – D-Phenylalanine
What is Doctor’s Best D-Phenylalanine?
Doctor’s Best D-phenylalanine is a non-protein amino acid related to the essential amino acid L-phenylalanine. D- and L-phenylalanine are structural mirror images of each other. D-phenylalanine is reported to inhibit an enzyme (enkephalinase) that degrades enkephalins, which are naturally occurring substances in the body that belong to the class of compounds known as “endorphins.” D-phenylalanine slows the action of the enzymes carboxypeptidase A, endorphinase and enkephalinase that degrade endorphins. Endorphins are neurotransmitters your body releases that bind to specialized receptors that trigger two actions. This process blocks the neurotransmitters that cause you to experience pain. It also makes your brain release more of the neurotransmitter dopamine. D-phenylalanine has twice the endorphinase inhibitory effect of D, L-phenylalanine. Slowing down this endorphin-reducing mechanism may help diminish pain.

Always feel this one. I got it specifically just to have the endorphin-preserving effect rather than the potentially overstimulating effect of DLPA. I think it makes me feel more satisfied for longer periods with less pain. May be good for those experiencing withdrawals. Start with one capsule as I think 2 made me feel depressed although maybe it was the same one I just bought too? Who knows? Try anyway.

more pleasure and happiness I’ve felt – which I suspect increases effective energy – given this powerful benefit, it probably does some important biological things – supposedly helps with endorphin retention! size ok to take easily. the quality seems excellent. recommended by a natural health book I read. the ingredients seem pure. no taste.

This was recommended to me for endorphin support. It is the brain’s natural pain reliever, whether physical or emotional. The size of the capsules is quite large but they can be dissolved in water, if needed. I take 2 before breakfast, lunch and dinner and have found them really helpful. This brand was recommended to me for its quality.

DLPA can be difficult to find, so I was very happy to find this product on I-Herb. And Dr’s Best is a very good brand, very high quality. Thanks for wearing this, I-Herb!

After 48 hours of taking 1 tablet in the morning on an empty stomach for 2 days, a noticeable decrease in anxiety was felt. Good for chronic anxiety and history of trauma. Works better for me than prescription drugs and without the side effects. I couldn’t be happier.

It’s more expensive than DL-Phenylalanine, but it worked totally differently. To learn more about D-Phanylalanine, I recommend reading Julia Ross’ book. She said it worked for lovesickness.

This ingredient D Phenylalanine is the absolute best thing for my husband – he’s stopped his restless legs, he takes 4 capsules at night and now he sleeps much better, he’s more calm, peaceful and focused during the day, it even works better than Panadol for pain relief.. if he is in pain he takes 2 more capsules and he blocks the pain receptors in 20 minutes – will buy it forever

For those with low endorphins (crying easily, discouraged) it’s excellent. The only way that does not excite you. The other shapes (L, DL) are very good, but they leave us “turned on”. Protocol by Julia Ross and Trudy Scoth.

I took the DPA for the first time one evening when I was feeling very watery and emotional; in about 15 minutes I realized that my emotions had calmed down and I felt normal again. It was quite a dramatic transformation. I don’t swallow the capsules but I open them and pour the contents on my tongue and let them dissolve. The taste is very similar to bitter dark chocolate. I recommend this product.
