What is DLPA phenylalanine?

DLPA is short for DL-phenylalanine and is a composition of both D-phenylalanine and L-phenylalanine. The D- and the L- forms are names of the chemical structure of the substance and are based on the composition of the molecules. Different structures can give rise to completely different properties in the body. L-phenylalanine is the naturally occurring amino acid while D-phenylalanine is a synthetic form.

L-phenylalanine is an essential amino acid and a building block component of protein, which acts as building material for muscle mass. Being essential means that the body is unable to produce it on its own and that we need to regularly ingest it through foods. L-phenylalanine is naturally found in most protein-rich foods, such as meat and fish.
