Review: Literally changed my life! - I've been suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome (ME) for about 3 years and have tried all sorts of vitamin supplements, homeopathic and prescription meds. I've always eaten healthily and well and yet have felt so disappointed that the quality fuel I put into my body somehow doesn't translate to good health and energy. I stumbled across an article about the importance of amino acids in general and how this one also affects brain chemistry and decided to try it, since I had just come off my antidepressants as well. It has had an incredibly powerful effect on me, starting from the first day I took it. I'm energetic, focused on things again, enjoying exercise without needing days to recover, my sinusitis has vanished as has my constant lower back ache, I'm not craving sugary foods and I'm starting to feel interested in men again!! I don't normally write reviews but absolutely had to share my positive experience with this product. Word of advice; don't take too close to bedtime and do not forget to eat plenty of protein. The DLPA will go directly to your muscles as well as your brain and will need protein in order to do it's job. Good luck!
Review: Please do your research on this product! It won't be for everyone. - I have a very specific reason for taking this product as I look to address very specific elements of nutrition for my mental balance. This is the combined version of Phenylalanine and I believe can only be made in a lab in this form. This is a supplement you need to research and take care with! It is way too complex to explain in a review, and I am not a doctor or nutritionist. I would avoid taking the word of blogs that often speak brilliantly of supplements, only to find there are reasons to not take certain supplements. This will vary from person to person. Please take good care, and don't assume a supplement will be safe for you. There are peer review sites, more medical/research-based sites, we can't link to them in reviews but I strongly recommend making this a habit when bringing any new supplement into your regimen. As for me, and this supplement? Working great for me so far! Appreciable difference in mood and concentration. I will not be taking this regularly, just on the occasions when I feel that this is what I need. Absolutely five stars from me. I will be sticking with this brand of DLPA. I hope you found this review helpful. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this dlpa or vitamin c? there's a discrepancy between the photo and title.**
A: I bought this item on 6/12/2020 and it was Solgar DLPA 500 mg (DL-Phenylalanine) Vegetable Capsules - Pack of 50.  I checked the link you sent and I see exactly what you mean the items are completely different.  I have reported this to amazon so hopefully they will rectify this.  I hope this helps you:-)

**Q: Is this product  dlpa or a vitamin c product. the title suggest vit c but picture and description suggest dlpa ? confused ?**
A: A: I bought this item on 6/12/2020 and it was Solgar DLPA 500 mg (DL-Phenylalanine) Vegetable Capsules - Pack of 50. I checked the link you sent and I see exactly what you mean the items are completely different. I have reported this to amazon 2 weeks ago so hopefully they will rectify this. I hope this helps you:-)

**Q: Does your product contain soya?**
A: No, this product does not contain soya. All allergens will always be clearly labelled on our products.

**Q: Hi, does anyone know if these tablets take time to build up in your system or do they work instantly? Thanks.**
A: I found they worked almost immediately. I had arthritis up the left arm which went away just after taking them. It depends on how chronic the pain is. My mother takes them, and it reduces the pain. She would be in agony without them. But it won’t get rid of chronic arthritis.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product very slow delivery
*by A***R on 6 November 2013*

If like me you take this to help with pain, order well in advance of running out as these took over three weeks to be delivered! Product works well for me and helps me with nerve pain which only amiltriptaline has touched previously.
