Pure D-Phenyl Relief
For pain tolerance and management of chronic discomfort.
Each capsule contains:
500 mg of D-Phenylalanine.
Endorphins are natural chemicals created in the body, which are involved in
pain tolerance.
D-Phenyl-Relief helps enhance endorphin Production.
May be very beneficial in assist individuals suffering from chronic
discomfort and pain.
DIRECTIONS:
For chronic pain, the initial dosage should be 3 capsules, T.I.D., on an
empty stomach for 7-10 days, then reduce to 2 capsules T.I.D., or as needed.
For acupuncture and dental procedures 2 grams (4 capsules) 1 hour prior to
appointment is recommended.
For joint pain, D-Phenyl-Relief may be combined with Montiff Joint-EEZ, as
needed.
D-Phenylalanine may also be used along with other pain modalities to
increase beneficial results.
WHAT IS D-PHENYLALANINE?
D-Phenylalanine is the
Dextro
rotatory form of the amino acid, Phenylalanine.
The L-forms
(Levo
rotatory) of amino acids are ones that are bioavailable and
are for protein synthesis and regulatory functions. They are like mirror
images of one another, however, D-Phenylalanine is not absorbed into the
body, but acts as an inhibiting agent to the enzymes that are responsible
for the breakdown of endorphins, which control pain perception.
WHAT ARE ENDORPHINS?
Endorphins (and encephalins) are naturally occurring opiate-like peptides,
which control pain perception and produce an analgesic effect. Their effects
are only of a short duration because of metabolic enzymes, especially
Carboxypeptidase A, which inhibit increased endorphin Production.
D-Phenylalanine prohibits these enzymes, allowing increased endorphin
Production, and prolonged and intensified analgesic affects.
HOW DOES D-PHENYLALANINE EFFECT PAIN?
Low levels of endorphins have been noted in those suffering from chronic
pain, and supplementation with D-Phenylalanine helped to increase these
levels. By prohibiting Carboxypeptidase A from preventing endorphin
Production, the body can continue to increase its own natural pain tolerance
mechanism. In studies with chronic pain patients, the pain threshold has
been enhanced and prolonged. This has been effected with various chronic
pain conditions, including back pain and Osteoarthritis.
D-PHENYLALANINE AND ACUPUNCTURE:
Pre-administration of D-Phenylalanine enhances the effects of acupuncture on
back and other pain. Up to 2 grams 1 hour prior to acupuncture treatment may
result in more pain relief and for longer periods of time.
DENTAL PAIN:
Two grams of D-Phenylalanine has been given 1 hour prior to dental
extractions, increasing the pain threshold and for a prolonged period of
time.
WHY NOT DLPA (A COMBINATION OF BOTH D-PHENYLALANINE AND L-PHENYLALANINE)?
D- PHENYLALANINE is the form of Phenylalanine that effects endorphin
Production. L-Phenylalanine has other functions in the body. Concentrations
of the pure D-Phenylalanine will assist in pain tolerance to those needing
this function. By combining the two, the concentration of the effective form
of D-Phenylalanine would be less, and therefore more would be required to
achieve results. The Third World Congress on Pain recommended
D-Phenylalanine, and numerous medical studies have confirmed this
recommendation. Some suggest that L-Phenylalanine will stimulate
catecholamine Production for those whose pain causes depression. Since
L-Phenylalanine must convert to L-Tyrosine in the body in order to raise
neurotransmitter levels, it would be best to take Montiff Pure L-Tyrosine or
Montiff Neuro-Balance with Tyrosine for this purpose. (In some rare forms of
depression, some patients have responded to D-Phenylalanine, and this form
might be beneficial to those who are not responding with other therapies.)
In addition, L-Phenylalanine is not recommended for those with elevated
blood pressure levels, diabetes or pregnant women, and would not be the best
choice for mood enhancement, or pain relief. D-Phenylalanine is the
recommended form of Phenylalanine for chronic pain control.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MONTIFF D-PHENYL-RELIEF?
The highest quality D-Phenylalanine is used.
It is concentrated pure D-Phenylalanine, which assists in enabling increased
endorphin Production
D-PHENYL-RELIEF is a safe alternative to opiates for chronic pain
management, and will not upset the stomach as many long term
"over-the-counter" drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen.
It may, however, be used to increase the effects of drugs, such as aspirin,
so that a lower dosage of a drug would be necessary to achieve relief.
No adverse side effects have been noted with D-Phenylalanine.
