Now Foods L - Phenylalanine, 120 Caps 500 mg

Important supplement for the nervous system

It’s a scam

色々口コミを読み購入。飲むと気分が落ち着く気がします。

I found most amino acids are hard on people with G.I issues.

The following advice is for entertainment purposes only and should not be followed by anyone, anywhere, on any planet or nearby multiple universe, at any time. Ever. Never ever ever. Never.Are we good? ok, we're good. Read on.I've been looking for a replacement to the some of the cognitive-enhancing effects of those that were (before the FDA yet AGAIN banned an extremely useful and non-dangerous supplement just so we knew who was boss) in Piracetam or any other racetam's that were on the market up until a year ago. After purchasing L-Tyrosine, Alpha-GPC, 5-htp, NALT, Huperzine-A, and L-Phenylalanine to complement the caffeine, L-theanine, and Choline I had already been taking, I found my mark-money-wise-with this Product. To be sure, these do not touch the effects that Alpha-GPC and NALT had on my total stack for cognitive-enhancement; however, there's a little something called price. And for the price, the L-Phenyl will take you quite a long ways for the money. Alpha-GPC (a cholinergic)and NALT (a dopaminergic) both cross the blood-brain barrier relatively easy and along with the caffeine (as the "boost") and the L-theanine to reduce the anxiety that could result from the mix, that stack is far superior to taking L-Phenylalaline, caffeine, and L-theanine alone.I understand that I haven't spoken on the effects of this product and this product alone, and that's because these will not work alone for the reasons I've listed above without needing something else to kick the dopamine system into action. Because of this, I only use these to support my stack. On days requiring tasks I know will require the utmost mental capabilities, I use my preferred stack (caff/L-theanine/Alpha-GPC/NALT [works MUCH better if taken an hour before your caffeine and on an empty stomach). On days requiring me to be alert, but not necessarily at the top of my game (so, so sorry), I use my second preferred stack (caff/L-theanine/L-Phenyl or NALT.). If I'm particular drowsy, I eliminate the L-theanine and just go for the caff/L-Phenyl or NALT mix. The caffeine I use can be bought here (very cheaply, at about 10 cents per pill, which equals 200mg caffeine). It's straight caffeine, so if you're worried about not getting your anti-oxidants, you might want to stick with your mug of coffee. Also, buying the caffeine in pill form allows me to alter the effects somewhat (1/4 pill, 1/2 pill, etc.). Sometime a whole pill (equal to two cups of coffee) is too much when my work day is a couple hours away from ending.To end, the price/benefit ratio on these is good. By themselves, I get nothing. With caff/L-theanine, I get just what I need to keep my mind at the ready. If you're looking for more, try splurging on NALT and Alpha-GPC. Make sure you're getting your choline, vit B-complex, Magnesium (chelated, preferably), Vitamin C, and fish oils as well. These are essential. No placebo effect with these, as they provide the base with which all other cog-enhancing supplements work.PS. I purposefully left out the quantities of each supplement I take. Your mileage may vary with each. A quick google search on RDA's or "how much x should I take" will get you in the right direction. There are way to many factors involved with each individual to give off the impression that what I take is what someone else might want to try taking as well. I will say this, I don't take the recommended amount on the bottle. They almost always reduce it to a point where they can sell it without having the FDA or some other agency down their throat. A waste for those who take the literal meaning of "safe" when a governmental agency says it. I wish you the best in finding out what works best for you. Good luck.

Has a little bit of a strange taste but that's fine. Have only been taking them for a few days so cannot tell if they are working or not

I just bought my 2nd bottle recently, I would not do that if these didn't work. I noticed a lot of reviewers supplement with other cognitive enhancers. I don't. I do however take other supplements for other health improvement.My issues were adult adhd, mood swings and horrible pms.I have previously taken RX and multiple supplements and natural remedies without success. The RX did help but it had horrible side effects.I read all these great reviews for this very cautiously and ordered half hoping this would help.Pleased that these capsules are not too big and they suggest 1-3 daily instead of tons of pills like some other supplements. Within a week I noticed an improvement in my mood, meaning that I was less "offended" and didn't have the extreme mood swings. I read a book that suggested this supplement (I can't remember the name) and from the symptoms it looked like I have very low serotonin and something else.Basically this isn't some miracle cure for serious mood or brain issues but I have honestly experienced marked improvement and I notice a decline when I ran out for a few weeks. I quickly made the connection and re-ordered now I don't "stress out" as much. It's a nice natural feeling that doesn't leave you like a zombie.I understand others get better benefit or prefer to supplement this with other great things like 5-htp, for now I am happy with this alone as I already take many other vitamins. I'm really GRATEFUL that I found something affordable and more natural than an RX.
