DL-Phenylalanine Powder

I bought this stuff roughly a year ago, when the FDA started prohibiting sale of phenylethylamine (PEA). I put it in my 50 gallon tote full of ND supplements and encapsulating supplies, then forgot about it. About a month ago, I took inventory of my supplements, saw the 250 grams of powder, and figured I would finally break the seal to find out what DL-Phenylalanine is all about. Here's my experience taking 500mg once a day thus far: Day #2: Notable elevation in both mood and energy. I have 4 herniated and one ruptured disc, so I'm hoping to realize pain relief soon. Day# 5: My sleep since day #2 has been better than I have had since I started taking n-acetyl-cysteine. I have been sleeping so well, in fact, that my back pain has been slightly worse. Day 7: Turmeric with piperine was a huge relief for my back; ksm-66 and L-theanine helped to extinguish and keep away the muscle spasms and tightness that always accompany a sore back. My mood have steadily climbed higher; sometimes I just sit, on he lawn with my German Shepherd and enjoy the feeling of being alive. Day 10: My energy and mood are excellent; I am getting restful, sound sleep 5-6 nights a week; no remarkable pain relief has been realized. I am still taking turmeric and piperine, so there is the possibility any benefits are being masked. Day 15: I am very happy with this supplement; I wish I had not waited a year to try it. My energy and mood are maintaining a steady level and I have noticed that I feel more limber when I am physically active. I am still taking turmeric and piperine, but they have never had this effect, so it must be from the DL-Phenylalanine or a synergy in the combination. Day 22: Still feeling great. No Renaissance changes in a week, but compared to a month ago, I feel mentally better and have higher, more consistent energy levels. I have read that for pain relief, some people take up to 3,000mg a day, so I think I will up the dose to 750 or 1,000mg starting tomorrow. If I experience anything notable, I will update my review, but this is already another easy 5-star product from ND!

Quality is excellent and when you order it seems as if you get an email only moments later that your order has shipped. I am Canadian but I don't order anywhere else and ND is who I recommend 100 percent of the time for noots and noot related products.

I have been taking this as an addition to my low doses of adderall for over a year. As an easy powder to take when levels feel off it is fast acting and the longevity does dissipate with tolerance but still a product I will always continue to use.

Excellent product and always fast to ship.

Very good quality powder. I also want to add that 1/4 teaspoon = 500 mg; 1/2 tsp = 1,000 mg. I couldn't find any info on dosage before buying so I went to Target and bought a digital scale.

Originally purchased it with the reductive stance that "I'll take this and it'll convert to tyrosine which will then help produce dopamine and norepinephrine." Didn't realize I needed something that upregulates tyrosine hydroxylase for that. This isn't medical advice but ended up finding a resource discussing "runner's high". They suggested this mix of items 30 minutes before running or exercise: Phenylalanine, Blueberries (pterostilbene, increase anadamide), Maca (FAAH inhibitor), PEA (increase anandamide and endocannabinoid activity), olive leaf extract (MAO-B inhibition). And it's been fantastic.

Very pleased with the various formulations and of course the availability in powder form. Always top-notch and innovative formulas.
