    Before taking DLPA, my life was miserable with miserable with chronic fatigue syndrome. Few things made any difference. About the only thing that helped was Ritalin and it wasn't the best. Now that I am taking Dl-Phenylalanine (also known as DLPA), my days are much better. I've been working hard to fine tune it. Here are the results.

    I've been taking DLPA from various companies for several months. The results have been fabulous. It helps me stay focused, more energy and happier throughout the day. The Swanson 500 mg seems to work as well for me as more expensive brands and even as well as one that says it has 1000mg. I set my first alarm early and take one about 6am then try to go back to sleep until my second alarm at 7am and time to get up. I feel much more refreshed getting up with Dl-Phenylalanine. Later, at noon, I start to drag a lot. I try to take a brief 15 nap at lunch time followed by another Dl-Phenylalanine. If I can't get a noon nap for whatever reason, my nest choice is take 2 DLPAs at noon. It keeps me up at night if I take it after 3pm.

    It seems this product does impact me- I have noticed that I cannot take it after 4 pm or I cannot sleep. I think everyone is different but it does seem to help keep me focused during the day. Wish I could take after work without it interferring as this is the time period I could use the oomph....

    For well over a year now I’ve been suffering from severe fatigue and lethargy bc of prescribed meds as well as an autoimmune issue.
    In my head I know what I need to do, but putting forth the action is another story. And it sucks. The constant fatigue and not accomplishing my daily goals, some which would include even just showering.
    I’ve been taking these for a week now and I’m like a totally different person. The follow through is incredible. I’m doing what I want to accomplish and then some including going to the gym and having more stamina with lifting etc.
    In the morning with my regular supplements I take one of these. By mid afternoon, no later than 3 or 4, I take a second one.
    There are no jitters or crashing, it’s literally like the most amazing thing I’ve ever taken in my life! Motivation in a bottle.

    I've used about half the bottle and I find that I do have more energy when I take this. It's not a jittery, strong out feeling and I don't realize it's even kicked in until I'm busily getting things done. I'll be reordering for sure.

  • Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2018
    I've had pretty bad anxiety for a few years and finally began taking a pharmaceutical for it. The side effect was lethargy and I had a lot of difficulty finding motivation to do much other than sleep. When I take this supplement it truly counters that effect. I have a toddler who ran off with the bottle and I didn't realize I was missing it from my routine until I found the bottle. It had been about a week where I was debating whether or not the anti anxiety meds were worth it. I just took it and within an hour the lethargy went away, just poof. I came to review it immediately because it's often that we don't really know what's working when we take a lot of vitamins, but I know for sure that this is something I shouldn't be without whole dealing with the other side effect. By the way, I learned today that the med I'm taking works similar to antihistamine, which is like the Benadryl effect.

    Like I said I’m pharmacist and do like this supplement in general. Although I haven’t noticed a huge difference myself, I do feel that every now and then it does help a little and helps with a little energy and focus and for the most part is safe as it mimics a natural amino acid in your body. However, vitamins and/or dietary supplements are called that so they don’t have to go through all of that testing by the FDA like other drugs do, therefore, they aren’t allowed to make claims on the packaging only suggestions, aren’t subject to putting everything on the label that “drugs” are, and aren’t tested as thoroughly so one bottle from one lot can vary greatly from the next. I have ordered this brand a couple times because of the price. It is quite a bit cheaper than the other brand I typically buy and tend to like better as well as its dose, but the prices of both keep going up so I will buy this in between the other brand to even it out some for like I said I don’t notice a HUGE difference in either one but do like to take it
