Amino acid D.L.P.A for pain?

Question

Trying to find how much DL-Phenalynanine to take on the net has been confusing. Can anyone tell me how much of this stuff is to be taken for pain & how much is too much?

Answer 1

Too much phenylalanine from supplements can cause (irreversible) brain damage.

Penylalanine is one of the 8 essential amino acids so it occurs in all animal protein as well as other foods.  This presents no problems.

The danger occurs if you take overdoses of phenylalanine supplements.
