DL-Phenylalanine - Pure Encapsulations

Phenylalanine is one of the 8 essential amino acids. This means your body needs it but cannot produce it itself. This makes it all the more important to get enough of it through a healthy and balanced diet! If you are unable to meet your daily needs through diet, tested quality supplements such as DL-Phenylalanine from Pure Encapsulations® can support your supply.

Phenylalanine: Precursor to various neurotransmitters

In your body, amino acids serve as building blocks for endogenous substances, e.g. proteins. In addition, they are involved in a variety of other processes in your organism, e.g. in human metabolism. If enough phenylalanine is present in the body, it can be converted into tyrosine in the liver. The amino acid tyrosine is an important starting material for thyroid hormones. The neurotransmitters adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine are also formed from tyrosine. They are needed in the human body for all types of stress reactions.

DL-Phenylalanine from Pure Encapsulations®

There are two different forms of phenylalanine: As L-phenylalanine, the amino acid occurs naturally in protein-rich foods. D-phenylalanine is the form that can be produced synthetically and, according to new scientific findings, also plays a role in the human body. Pure Encapsulations® DL-Phenylalanine provides both the D and L forms in a balanced ratio. The product is vegan and is ideal for targeted intake or if your intake of tyrosine through food is reduced – this can be the case, for example, if you eat a vegan or vegetarian diet.
