D, L Phenylalanine (dlpa) Side Effects, Structure, Benefits - Dose
|
||||||||
The consensus of experts recommend taking phenylalanine or tyrosine (not both) on an empty stomach 20 minutes before eating. Nor, should we take them with other amino acids (there are a few in Life Extension Mix). Most research scientists recommend starting with 500-1,000 mg in the morning. Some people take another 500-1,000 mg in the afternoon for that extra boost. Taking it too late in the day may have side effects of insomnia. Some people build up to 2,000 mg in the morning and 2,000 mg in the afternoon. There has to be significant amounts of vitamin B6 and vitamin C present in your blood stream in order for phenylalanine or tyrosine to work. The ingestion of 150-200 mg of Vitamin B6 and 3,000-4,000 mg of vitamin C divided throughout the day does a great job ... not to mention other benefits. There are 100 mg of vitamin B6 and 2,500 mg of vitamin C in the full menu of Life Extension Mix. D, L-Phenylalanine or tyrosine works especially well with caffeine and encourages the hypothalamus in the brain to release CCK (cholecystokinin), a hormone responsible for signaling fullness.

Editors Note: For those with substance abuse issues, a consideration is to use kudzu and d,l phenylalanine in association with l-glutamine for lessening the desire for alcohol and carbohydrates. Lithium orotate also shows promise in this arena along with n-acetyl l-cysteine (NAC). There seems to be a synergistic relationship with all of these combined compared to any one single nutrient alone. In addition, activated charcoal/bentonite clay is the preferred choice for detoxification of toxic substances and other poisons that can build-up in our bodies. Cautions: canc patients, such as those with melanoma, should avoid taking L-phenylalanine and/or L-tyrosine. The side effect insomnia may occur from over-stimulation if taken too close to bedtime. D, L-Phenylalanine should not be confused with phenylpropanolamine (a form of amphetamine). Phenylpropanolamine is an appetite suppressant used in several over-the-counter diet pills. It causes the brain to use up nor-epinephrine without producing more. Phenylalanine and tyrosine should be used with caution by those with hypertension, phenylketonuria (PKU, a rare genetic defect of the brain), or pre-existing pigmented melanoma, (a type of skin canc). Nor, should they be used in combination with anti-depressant drugs. Warnings:
