Below is an earlier chat regarding DLP:

DLPA is simple shorthand for DL-Phenylanlanine To the best of my limited

knowledge, DLPA DL-Phenylanlanine is like saying " Rio Grande River " .

L-phenylalanine (LPA) serves as a building block for the various proteins

that are produced in the body. LPA can be converted to L-tyrosine (another

amino acid) and subsequently to L-dopa, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. LPA

can also be converted (through a separate pathway) to phenylethylamine, a

substance that occurs naturally in the brain and appears to elevate mood.

D-phenylalanine (DPA) is not normally found in the body and cannot be

converted to L-tyrosine, L-dopa, or norepinephrine. As a result, DPA is

converted primarily to phenylethylamine (the potential mood elevator). DPA

also appears to influence certain chemicals in the brain that relate to pain

sensation.

DLPA is a mixture of LPA and its mirror image DPA. DLPA (or the D- or L-form

alone) has been used to treat depression among other things.
