Phenylalanine is an amino acid that the body uses to produce proteins. The body doesn't naturally produce phenylalanine, so you can only get it by eating protein-rich foods such as eggs, meat and milk or by taking supplements. There are three types of phenylalanine: D-phenylalanine, L-phenylalanine and a combination of the two that is produced in a laboratory. This third form is what Pure Encapsulations puts in the formula for its DL-Phenylalanine 500 mg capsules. Below are several benefits that DL-Phenylalanine 500 mg provides:
- It may boost cognitive function, learning and memory.
- The combination of amino acids may support a positive mood and emotional well-being.
- This Pure Encapsulations supplement may calm and relax stressed joints and muscles by regulating endorphin levels.
- DL-Phenylalanine 500 mg could help you focus on daily tasks.
- The formula that Pure Encapsulations developed is unlikely to cause discomfort.
