Why can't I get DL-phenylalanine from food?

Food and Mood Support

We all know that food can raise your spirits, especially if you eat an all-natural diet and don't drink excess alcohol. Think of how, after you eat a protein-rich meal, you're happier. So why can't you get all natural mood enhancers from food? Certain mood support helpers such as St. John's Wort, 5 HTP and valerian root, obviously, don't come from food. But amino acids do, and DL-phenylalanine is an amino acid. Unfortunately, humans can't get it from food, so you need to take it in tablet or softgel form. Now that you've enhanced your amino acids, you can enjoy that delicious home-cooked dinner with family and friends--eating together is another natural mood support you can't get from food alone.
