D-Phenylalanine--4 CHRONIC PAIN CONTROL

What are the benefits of D-Phenylalanine?

• Elevating endorphin levels associated with pain endurance

• Providing relief from arthritis, and other back and joint pains

• Helps feelings of stress and frustration

• Control the cravings for addictive substances

What is D-Phenylalanine? It is the dextrorotatory form of the amino acid

Phenylalanine. The L-forms (levorotatory) of amino acids are ones that are

bioavailable and are for protein synthesis and regulatory function. The L and D

forms are like mirror images of one another, however the D-Phenylalanine is not

absorbed into the body, but acts as an inhibiting agent to the enzymes that are

responsible for the breakdown of endorphins, which control pain perception.

D-Phenylalanine and Endorphins; Endorphins are naturally occurring opiate-like

peptides, which control pain perception and produce an analgesic effect. Their

effects are only of short duration because of metabolic enzymes, especially

Carboxypeptidase A. D-Phenylalanine prohibits these enzymes, allowing increased

endorphin production, therefore prolonging and intensifying analgesic effects.

How does D-Phenylalanine effect pain? Low levels of endorphins have been noted

on those suffering from chronic pain, and supplementation with D-Phenylalanine

helped to increase these levels. By prohibiting carboxypeptidase A from

preventing endorphin production, the body can continue to increase its own

natural tolerance mechanism. In studies with chronic pain patients, the pain

threshold has been enhanced and prolonged. This has been effective with various

chronic pain conditions, including back pain and osteoarthritis.

How can D-Phenylalanine help cravings? When the body lacks endorphins, cravings

may arise for foods or drugs that temporarily elevate endorphins. Once these

spikes of endorphins begin to wear off, withdrawal symptoms may occur.

Supplementation with D-Phenylalanine helps to keep these levels up. Therefore

D-Phenylalanine may help to control these cravings.

D-Phenylalanine and Acupuncture Pre-administration or D-Phenylalanine enhances

the effects of acupuncture on back and other pain. Up to 2 grams one hour prior

to acupuncture treatment may result in more pain relief and for longer periods

of time.

Dental Pain Two grams of D-Phenylalanine has been given one hour prior to dental

extractions, thus increasing the pain threshold for a prolonged period of time.

Why NOT DLPA (a combination of both D-Phenylalanine and L-Phenylalanine and

L-Phenylalanine) ? D-Phenylalanine is the form of phenylalanine that effects

endorphins production. L-Phenylalanine has other functions in the body.

D-Phenylalanine will assist in pain tolerance to those needing this function. By

combining the two, the concentration of the effective form of D-Phenylalanine

would be less effective, therefore more would be required to achieve results.

The Third World Congress on Pain recommended D-Phenylalanine and numerous

medical studies have confirmed this recommendation. Some suggest that

L-Phenylalanine will stimulate catecholamine production for those whose pain

causes depression. Since L-Phenylalanine must convert to L-Tyrosine in the body

in order to raise neurotransmitter levels, it would be best to take L-Tyrosine

alone for this purpose. In some forms of depression patients have responded to

D-Phenylalanine. In addition, L-Phenylalanine is not recommended for those with

elevated blood pressure levels, diabetes, or pregnant women, therefore would not

be the best choice for mood enhancement or pain relief. D-Phenylalanine is the

recommended form of Phenylalanine for chronic pain control.
