I agree with this on PEA and the "D version".
I have only been able to locate the "D" version only so far at the following links:
http://www.vitaminmen.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?action=display&ID=1002
Pure D-Phenylalanine - (FTH Nutraceuticals) 500mg, 50 caps - $34.95http://www.iherb.com/dphenylalanine1.html
Best D-Phenylalanine, Doctor's Best, 500 mg, 60 Veggie Caps - $10.00Anyone know of any other sources or have any experience with either of those two manufacturers (Doctor's Best or FTH Nutraceuticals)?
Would like to give it a try at some point (though, truthfully, am concentrating on my anxiety problems and adrenal tumor testings right now), but would like to find a lower dosage to start out with... like 100mg or 250mg at tops....
But, yes, as far as the selegiline-based therapy, going with just the added D-Phenylalanine could be interesting IF one has a problem with the addition of L-Phenylalanine or even the combined DLPA causing anxiety problems.... or even just too much of "the jitters".

It contains PEA, it's reasonably cheap but it has caffeine so that could be a drawback if you're anxious already I guess. Also it contains tyramine but I don't know if that matters with a low dose of selegiline.
