Amino acids serve as the building blocks of protein. There are two essential amino acids that may support your overall well-being‚ which your body is unable to produce on its own. These amino acids are l-phenylalanine and d-phenylalanine. The former serves as a precursor to tyrosine; tyrosine is converted into important neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine‚ epinephrine‚ and dopamine. As a result‚ l-phenylalanine may promote a better mood‚ increased cognitive ability (allowing you to learn things more quickly)‚ and improved memory.
Meanwhile‚ d-phenylalanine may work to alleviate stress on the muscles and joints that causes discomfort. This is because it contributes to increasing endorphin levels just like exercise‚ and endorphins make you happy. Unlike l-phenylalanine‚ d-phenylalanine is created in a laboratory and may be more helpful in certain ways.
Good dietary sources of l-phenylalanine are dairy products like milk and cheese; as well as eggs‚ fish‚ and meats. Signs of a deficiency may include fatigue‚ confusion‚ forgetfulness‚ or a decrease in alertness. All of these symptoms can negatively impact your daily life.
Since both of these amino acids are well-tolerated by the stomach‚ combining them in one capsule like Pure Encapsulations' dl-Phenylalanine is a convenient solution. This supplement supports your mind and your musculoskeletal system with a 50:50 ratio. It also contains fat-soluble vitamin C to further promote absorption. One capsule provides 500 milligrams of dl-phenylalanine.
Take four to six vegetable capsules daily‚ in divided doses between meals. At the recommended dosage‚ each 180-capsule bottle of dl-Phenylalanine by Pure Encapsulations should last from 30 to 45 days.
