DL-Phenylalanine Powder

Product description:

DL-Phenylalanine Powder is marketed as a nutritional supplement for
its putative analgesic and antidepressant activities.

What does DL-Phenylalanine do?

DL-phenylalanine refers to a racemic mixture consisting of 50% D-phenylalanine and 50% L-phenylalanine.
L-phenylalanine is an essential protein amino acid. D-phenylalanine is the enantiomer of L-phenylalanine.

D-phenylalanine is a nonprotein amino acid, meaning that it does not participate in protein
biosynthesis. D-phenylalanine and other D-amino acids are, however, found in proteins,
in small amounts, particularly aged proteins and food proteins that have been processed.
The biological functions of D-amino acids remain unclear. Some D-amino acids, such as D-phenylalanine,
may have pharmacologic activity.
