DLPA: Boost Mood, Memory & Focus…

Boost Dopamine, Focus, Mood & Memory!

DL-Phenylalanine (DLPA) is a combination of two forms of the amino acid phenylalanine: D-phenylalanine and L-phenylalanine. Each has distinct effects:

L-Phenylalanine is a natural amino acid found in food and used by the body to produce neurotransmitters like dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. It’s often linked to mood and mental alertness.

D-Phenylalanine is a synthetic version that may slow the breakdown of endorphins, potentially helping with pain relief and mood elevation.

Together, DLPA is sometimes used as a supplement for:

• Chronic pain (especially with conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia)
• Depression or low mood
• ADHD or cognitive enhancement
• Supporting motivation and energy
• Kratom booster, potentiator; Kratom cessation aid.

Kratom Enhacing & Tolerance Maintenance:

DLPA has been touted as a kratom enhancer, tolerance reducer & cessation aid. If you’re pairing it with kratom (to lower dosage, tolerance or experimentation), some prefer to take DLPA either:

• circa 25 – 50 mg taken 30 to 60 minutes beforehand

• circa 25 – 50 mg taken 30 – 45 min after kratom dosage.

• circa 25 – 50 mg taken with the kratom dosage (start low & find your sweet spot)

*However, it’s not for everyone—people with PKU (phenylketonuria) must avoid it, and it can interact with antidepressants or MAOIs.
