SOLARAY DL-Phenylalanine, 500mg | 50-50 Blend of Essential Amino Acids for Nervous System, Mood & Energy Support | 60 VegCaps

I mainly utilize this product to help me deal with headaches that I get when I decide to temporarily wean myself off caffeine. It is very helpful. I will take 1000mg in the morning (2 pills) and (1-2 pills in the evening). It helps to take this on an empty stomach utilizing water as it helps ensure that the amino acids get utilized without interference from other substances which can change how your body utilizes the pills.Trust me, this helps. You may need to adjust the dosage to best fit you. I am a 1-3 cup coffee drinker, or I drink 1 bang energy drink. I occasionally drink tea. However, every few weeks, I decide to quit for a month or so. This helps my body utilize caffeine the way it is intended too. However, it does take about a week to feel "normal" as my energy levels need to readjust. It has something to do with adenosine receptors... look it up.Anyways, these pills work for slight pain management. Plus they are opioid free, which matters.

I can't even say enough about this brand! I tried others and they gave me headaches and didn't work. I used this for detoxing off the small amount of methodone I was on after 8 yrs. It worked so well, I told everyone I could about it. I wouldn't of been able to get through the PAWS without it. Life saver!!! Restores brain pathways, cures depression, helps with energy during the day, is great in everyway! Thank you for an incredible product!!!

Ok, so I was skeptical about this product at first, but literally Day 1, I could tell the difference in my energy and mood! I saw this product on a TikTok, and wanted to try it out but I thought it may be a hoax- it wasn’t! I feel great, have increased energy and I’ve lost weight bc I’m not stress eating all day anymore. I highly recommend this product- one thing I will warn you of- I had headaches every evening for about a week of taking this product but after about a week/ week and a half I have stopped having the headaches and I’ve been taking it for a month now :) I have recommended this product to a couple people I know who I feel will benefit from this. Not only does it help with my anxiety and depression, and helped me lose a small amount of weight, it helped with my UlnarNeuropathy pain! I love this product, and I am going to be a long time customer!

Same as other "vitamin shop" store brand...looks and works identically. No need to spend top dollar on this supp, unless you really really need a pretty lable and flip top cap. Plenty of info online to the use of this supp so I'm not going into it here, it does work and it does take the "edge off" if you run out of your prescription early and suddenly stop taking it causing you to feel "sick." ...not a miracle but combined with grapefruit juice had worked well for me personally. Please do your research and take responsibility for your own use/actions. I'm not a doctor and this is a product review not medical advice or a medical consultation!

My mood dramatically increases when I take this, but unfortunately, as with many other amino acid supplements I've tried, I get severe heartburn after taking it for a few consecutive days. I have a very sensitive stomach though.

This stuff is actual methamphetamine. Wow... Maybe watch out for migraines.

I have suffered w/ extreme depression & anxiety since I was 13 (now 42). Have gone through MANY different Rx/herbal/clinical therapies, and this product has been life-changing in a very short time.I believe in the "shot-gun" approach: use as many tools as you can to help yourself (prescription meds, diet, herbs/supplements, exercise, therapist, light box, vit. D). None of them have to work completely, but all together, it makes a huge difference. This has given me energy & focus I NEVER had, zest for life, an ability to handle stresses...I tell my husband (who keeps mentioning what a HUGE difference he has noticed) that this must be how "normal" people live.This brand works the best for me. I take 1 pill in the morning at least a half hour before breakfast (ok w/ coffee), as per bottle's directions. Since I take a large dose of Welbutrin (which also works on dopamine receptors), I only take the one 500mg, and 3 days on, then 1 off. Too much of a "good thing" makes me jittery w/ OCD symptoms.I am only telling you what I do, not what YOU should do. But all the docs I have seen think only pharmaceuticals are the answer, and for me, they have not been. I do lots of research and listen to how I feel. Most doctors think you should listen to them blindly, but this is my LIFE, and it affects my family's as well. Make your own educated decision, but I highly recommend this particular product.

I have research a lot into amino acids and their benefits on the body and mind. I’ve battled with anxiety and depression since my teenage years.. I started using this product over a year ago and after a week I noticed I was waking up in a better mood. I stopped taking it for a month and noticed my mood would decrease again with some mild depression. A few days after starting back up depression was gone. I’m not saying it will be the same outcome for everyone but definitely worth a try!!
