How DLPA Suppresses Hunger

When you feel stress, do you feel a natural reaction to reach for a potato chip or piece of chocolate? If you do, then your body is working properly, but maybe not in a way that helps you attain your weight loss goals. Your body is protecting itself, although it is depleting some of its essential amino acids, resulting in the cravings you are experiencing.

What is an Amino Acid?

An amino acid is the basic building block of proteins. Our body produces around twenty of them. Of those, eight or nine (depending on the research you read) have been deemed "essential." A combination of the foods we eat and our body's activities creates these essential amino acids. All amino acids help the body build proteins that are important to our existence.

What is DLPA?

DL-Phenylalanine (DLPA) contains two forms of the amino acid phenylalanine. The "L" form is found naturally in protein rich foods. The "D" form is synthetically created. Much research has been conducted on DLPA, showing how it naturally helps with pain management and, as we are going to find out, with stress-related hunger management.

Now, Back to the Potato Chip

If you feel stress on a regular basis and find your hand in the snack jar, DLPA can help. When stressed, your body creates a hormone called cholecystokinin also known as CCK and pancreozymin, which provides the signal to eat. DLPA naturally counteracts that mechanism, controlling your body's natural reaction to eat.
