That product? Nope.
It has a glaring error in explaining what phenylalanine does in the body:

dl phenylalanine: Otherwise called DLPA. DLPA is a beneficial amino acid that is noted for helping the body maintain higher levels of serotonin. Serotonin is a hormone produced in the brain that promotes good feelings and has been proven to elevate mood, which then helps reduce feelings of pain.

Other biological roles
L-phenylalanine can also be converted into L-tyrosine, another one of the DNA-encoded amino acids. L-tyrosine in turn is converted into L-DOPA, which is further converted into dopamine, norepinephrine (noradrenaline), and epinephrine (adrenaline). The latter three are known as the catecholamines.
Phenylalanine uses the same active transport channel as tryptophan to cross the blood-brain barrier, and, in large quantities, interferes with the production of serotonin.

Anyone with high blood pressure should not take this supplement. Also, phenylalanine is 1/2 of the ingredients in aspartame (Nutrasweet).
Nattokinase thins the blood and may interfere with blood thinners. It is normally fairly expensive.
This mixture of supplements is pretty inexpensive so I suspect the actual amount of ingredients is low/capsule. Fitting therapeutic amounts of all of those in one item, is a trick..typically only a small amount of each is in each capsule. (a common supplement scam)
So get some curcumin...that's what I'd suggest.
Puritan's has some good extracts..I use their ginger all the time.
Curcumin is getting alot of attention now as an anti-inflammatory. You'd need at least 2 caps of the extract a day, maybe 3.
