DL-Phenylalanine 60 Vegetarian Capsules

Thorne Research’s DL-Phenylalanine delivers an important neurotransmitter precursor. Additional benefits of this supplement include:

• Providing an important nutrient for healthy adrenal function. The adrenal glands (adrenals) are located on top of each kidney, and are responsible for secreting over fifty essential hormones. Furthermore, they’re involved in the production of energy, maintenance of healthy fat storage, and promoting a balance between fluids and electrolytes. Proper adrenal functioning has been tied to longevity—these vegetarian capsules could help you live longer!
• Support for your thyroid gland, which is found in the throat and produces its own unique set of hormones; those hormones include triiodothyronine and thyroxine, also known respectively as T3 and T4. The pair of hormones helps your body make energy and regulate its temperature at around 98.6 degrees F°. T3 and T4 are also essential to normal organ function, because both are used by all organs in the human body.
• Promotion of a positive mental state and healthy stress management. Perhaps the most well-known function of the adrenals is the production of adrenaline, which is responsible for what’s called the “fight or flight” response when confronted by danger or otherwise stressful circumstances. In emergencies, this quick response is vital; however, the overabundance of tense (but not life-threatening) situations in your everyday life can cause the adrenals to become overworked and produce an overload of the hormone. As a result, you may develop adrenal fatigue. Common causes of the condition include illness, sleep deprivation, emotional conflicts, digestive difficulties, and excess caffeine intake.

This supplement contains phenylalanine (DLPA), a biologically essential amino acid that’s a precursor to tyrosine and the catecholamine neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. DLPA is involved in protein synthesis and regulation, and is also present in several active, multifunction brain compounds; it also potential to increase endorphin and enkephalin (opioid compounds) levels in the central nervous system. Research has demonstrated mood balancing effects following the use of DLPA.

DL-Phenylalanine is made with an effective formula exclusive to Thorne Research that is free of preservatives, soy, lactose, gluten, magnesium stearate, lubricants and diluents.
