DL-Phenylalanine
DL-Phenylalanine (DLPA), Phenylalanine,
or L-Phenylalanine in its natural form, is an essential amino
acid of tremendous nutritional importance, although often found
low in the blood serum levels of vegetarians. It is a known
nutritional precursor or forerunner of the neurotransmitters
dopamine, norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline)
which latter substances control or affect heart rate and output,
blood pressure, oxygen consumption, blood sugar levels, fat
metabolism and other brain functions. Interestingly, "Phenylpropanolamine"
(a substance which attempts to mirror some of the activities
of phenylalanine) is a synthetic substance used to promote the
release of CCK (cholescystokinin) in the stomach, a "satiation"
hormone which naturally induces satiety, transmitting its chemical
message to the brain, signaling the body that it should stop
eating.
Phenylalanine is reported to have similar attributes that may
nutritionally decrease one's appetite naturally, having the
same causes of the synthetic substance above. DL-Phenylalanine
is also involved in the release of PEA, phenylethylamine, a
neurotransmitter closely related to norepinephrine, and which
can sensitize endorphin receptors to endorphins, and aids in
the relief of depression and the regulation of mood. PEA, by
itself, can increase the manufacturing of norepinephrine in
the brain, a natural pick-me-up.
Research has shown that most deprressed individuals have low
levels of PEA, and that most antidepressant drugs raise PEA
levels.The "D-" form of phenylalanine nutritionally inhibits
the production of enzymes which defeat the naturally occurring
"opiates" of the body, the endorphins and enkephalins, those
naturally occurring "pain-relievers" that the body produces
when faced with neurochemical messages of discomfort. More specifically,
supplementation of the "D-" form of phenylalanine appears to
lengthen the biochemical life of these naturally occurring substances
by inhibiting enkephalinase, and endorphinases, the enzymes
that breaks down our naturally occurring pain relievers, allowing
the body to naturally "remove" itself from pain for longer periods
of time. Interestingly, the body's natural pain relievers, the
endorphins and enkephalins, are known to be some 400 times more
powerful than morphine in their concentrated strength.The combined
D- and L- forms of phenylalanine, known as DL-Phenylalanine,
are used supplementally to simply complement the body's natural
ability to relieve discomfort, while also ensuring that enough
of the "L-" form has been supplied. Both D- and L- forms are
naturally occurring in nature.
