What is Vitacost DLPA DL-Phenylalanine?Vitacost DLPA DL-Phenylalanine is a combination of the L and D forms of phenylalanine. Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid, which means the body cannot produce it; it must be obtained through diet, mainly from protein foods such as meat, poultry, fish, milk, eggs and cheese. L-phenylalanine is absorbed easily and utilized by many proteins in the body. DL-phenylalanine is a precursor for neurochemicals and adrenal hormones such as dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, adrenaline and noradrenaline, which are released during times of stress or excitement. The adrenal hormones produced can help the body prepare for action during times of fight or flight. The neurochemicals produced give rise to the feelings of euphoria, happiness and mood elevation.*D-phenylalanine is known to block the activity of carboxypeptidase, an enzyme which degrades enkephalins, which are morphine-like substances that can give the marathon runner what is known as a runners high. Phenylalanine also synthesizes phenylethylamine, which is the molecule found in chocolate that is responsible for pleasurable effects on mood.*Phenylalanine is also a precursor to tyrosine, which aids in the function of the thyroid hormone production. Phenylalanine has also been shown to stimulate the release of the intestinal hormone cholesystokinin (CCK), which tells the brain when you have eaten enough food or have the sensation of fullness. Cholesystokinin helps a person feel satisfied or satiated, which can help lessen the desire for eating a second helping.*How does Vitacost DLPA DL-Phenylalanine support health?Supports elevated moods.*Helps the body cope with stress.*Can promote feelings of fullness.*Supports adrenal hormones and neurochemical production.*Why choose Vitacost DLPA DL-Phenylalanine?High quality at a great value.Each bottle contains 300 servings.About VitacostAll Vitacost products ...
