DL-Phenylalanine, an amino acid that acts as a natural pain reliever, is a 50/50 combination of the D- and L- forms of phenylalanine. It relieves pain by blocking the enzymes that interrupt endorphins and enkephlins from naturally lessening pain in the body. Endorphins can be more powerful than the drug morphine and are released by small cells in the brain, nervous system, spine and nerve endings. DL-phenylalanine also weakens the appetite and is considered a stimulant of mild strength. The human body does not naturally produce phenylalanine so it has to be obtained from eating food. It is converted by the body into tyrosine, which is also an amino acid that makes proteins, and brain chemicals like dopamine, norepinephrine and thyroid hormones. Used in high quantities it can be toxic and should not be used at all by those who have schizophrenia as it can cause confusion, lethargy, depression, decreases in memory and alertness, anxiety and jitteriness. It is detrimental to children with hyperactivity and diagnosed ADHD. It is advised that they avoid such products as aspartame, which is made from phenylalanine.

DL-Phenylalanine is a a-amino acid. The biological functions of D-amino acids remain unclear although some, such as DL-phenylalanine shows some pharmacological activity. It is sold as a nutritional supplement because of its analgesic and antidepressant activities. This analgesic activity can be explained by the possible blockage by D-phenylalanine of enkephalin and degradation by the enzyme carboxypeptidase A , and the mechanism of antidepressant activity may be accounted for by the precursor role of L-phenylalanine in the synthesis of the neurotransmitters, norepinephrine and dopamine. High levels of norepinephrine and dopamine are believed to have an anti-depressant effect.
