Are questions from a non chemist OK?

Perhaps there is a better part of the forum…? even tho the question is simple the answer may not be.

I bought 1k grams of DL phenylalanine. Mfg'd in US. I read in Smart Drugs 2 that the DL version tasted sweet. This does not. When I put it in water it doesn't seem very willing to dissolve, I didn't try this for long. But I did stir it. It was almost like styrofoam balls and stayed that way. Could if be fat soluble?

The non sweet taste isn't much of a concern on it's own but with it's unexpected behavior in water I began wondering if I should be asking some questions. It was manufactured for 1Fast 400 in Ma in the usa Also, it smells sweet, it sort of bothers me because I dislike manufactured smells and flavors.

I'm betting it's not that important that it is not sweet. It is also, so fine a powder as to be a bit of a nuisance. I didn't seem to want to dissolve under my tongue either. The taste was less bitter than piracetam for instance. I got it from a guy on ebay. I'd be grateful for some help. Thanks for your time.

No one can tell you what your powder really is, but your description of it matches all DPLA I've ever seen.
 
Thank You Some encouragement in the absence of proof like info, is a big help. I'm not sure if it's working yet. Still fooling with dosages.

Phe's solubility in water is 0.1M at 20˚C. that makes about 1.7 grams in 100ml at room temperature.
