Rating breakdown

Evidence for ingredient 6.0/10

DL-phenylalanine shows interesting effects on mood and pain perception through influence on dopamine and endorphin metabolism. However, clinical evidence is still limited and results are mixed.

Value for money 6.0/10

Around €0.28 per day is rather expensive for an amino acid. Pure Encapsulations is a premium brand that commands its price.

Label honesty 8.0/10

Pure Encapsulations communicates factually and scientifically. No miracle cure promises, clear ingredient list.

Third-party testing 8.0/10

Pure Encapsulations has rigorous internal quality control and conducts third-party testing. One of the most trusted brands among sensitive users and physicians.

Ingredient dossier
