DL-Phenylalanine works with body’s natural ability to ease pain. It assists in increasing the lifespan of brain chemicals that relieves pain. It is particularly effective in reducing pain caused by arthritis and aching muscles. DL-phenylalanine can treat persistent pain by stimulating nerve pathways in the brain responsible for controlling pain. Its effect increases if used with prescribed pain killers. DL-Phenylalanine, which is a combination of essential amino acid L-phenylalanine and D-phenylalanine, blocks an enzyme in the nervous system that enhances pain signals. This disturbance of pain signals causes the body’s healing mechanisms to start working faster. Use of DL-phenylalanine is also reported to have helped people in improving their mood and in treating depression. This is because a higher proportion of production of brain chemicals dopamine and norepinephrine, if went out of balance, cause depression, stress and frustration. Increasing the levels of these chemicals has an anti-depressant impact in the body.

DL-Phenylalanine, an amino acid that acts as a natural pain reliever, is a 50/50 combination of the D- and L- forms of phenylalanine. It relieves pain by blocking the enzymes that interrupt endorphins and enkephlins from naturally lessening pain in the body. Endorphins can be more powerful than the drug morphine and are released by small cells in the brain, nervous system, spine and nerve endings. DL-phenylalanine also weakens the appetite and is considered a stimulant of mild strength. The human body does not naturally produce phenylalanine so it has to be obtained from eating food. It is converted by the body into tyrosine, which is also an amino acid that makes proteins, and brain chemicals like dopamine, norepinephrine and thyroid hormones. Used in high quantities it can be toxic and should not be used at all by those who have schizophrenia as it can cause confusion, lethargy, depression, decreases in memory and alertness, anxiety and jitteriness. It is detrimental to children with hyperactivity and diagnosed ADHD. It is advised that they avoid such products as aspartame, which is made from phenylalanine.
