Description
Solgar DLPA 500 mg (DL-Phenylalanine) 50 Vegetable Capsules is a food supplement containing DL-phenylalanine, a mixture of the natural L form of the amino acid phenylalanine and its mirror image, the D form. It comes as 500 mg vegetable capsules in a pack of 50, and Solgar lists it as vegan, vegetarian, kosher and gluten-free.
Key Features
- Both forms of phenylalanine: DL-phenylalanine provides D-phenylalanine and L-phenylalanine together, in free form.
- 500 mg per capsule: The strength is named in the product title, with 50 capsules in the pack.
- 2 capsules a day: Solgar's daily dosage is 2 vegetable capsules, so one pack lasts 25 days.
- Vegetable capsule shell: The shell is made from hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose rather than gelatin.
What is the difference between DLPA and L-phenylalanine?
Phenylalanine exists in two mirror-image forms, L and D. L-phenylalanine is the natural form. DLPA (DL-phenylalanine) is a mixture of both, so this product provides D-phenylalanine and L-phenylalanine together.
How long does one pack last?
The daily dosage is 2 vegetable capsules, so a pack of 50 capsules lasts 25 days.
Is this product suitable for people with phenylketonuria (PKU)?
People with PKU have problems breaking down phenylalanine and follow a restricted-phenylalanine diet arranged by their metabolic team, according to the NHS. Because this product is a source of phenylalanine, speak to your metabolic team before considering it.
