What is Phenylethylamine o PEA?

Almost everyone wants to feel better. This includes feeling happier, more alive, and even having a better mood and attitude.

While no supplement is able to guarantee and promise ALL of these effects, there is one that does come close.

Many people have been using Beta-Phenylethylamine as a way to enhance their overall mood.

What is B-Phenylethylamine (PEA)?

B-Phenylethylamine, often shortened to PEA, is a substance found naturally in chocolate. In fact, there is a lot of science behind this being the main reason as to why we receive such a natural “boost” or feel good effect after eating chocolate. It is a derivative of the amino acid Phenylalanine.

There is also much evidence to suggest that part of the reason for its effects have to do with this supplement being able to increase dopamine levels within the brain. This is important because dopamine acts as a neurotransmitter (this is how nerve cells “talk” to each other).

While dopamine plays many roles within the brain, one of the key functions is triggering reward-motivated behavior. Everytime you receieve a reward (any kind whether it is a complement on a job well done or a trophy for a sport) your dopamine levels spike.

In addition to this, it is also thought that Beta-Phenylethylamine helps to block the action of dopamine transmitters, so it really works on both ends of the spectrum. What this means is beta phenylethylamine not only increases dopamine production, but it also blocks it from getting absorbed too quickly.

Experts also think that the supplement helps promote the release of acetylcholine, another powerful brain chemical which helps to support memory and cognition.

So not only will Beta Phenylethylamine improve your mood, it can also boost your brain power!

Benefits of Beta-Phenylethylamine

The major benefits related to this supplement are mood enhancement and an overall feeling of well being. Due to the release of circulating levels of dopamine and acetylcholine it is even possible that some users may experience a feeling a kin to a natural “high.”

In addition to this enhanced feeling of well being, users may notice a slight elevation of their blood pressure. Many people report that this is a similar experience to feeling like they are in love.

As your mood becomes enhanced, this leads to a number of additional effects. For example, users have reported a much greater amount of mental energy, clarity and focus.

It has also been noted that supplementation with Beta Phenylethylamine may help to reduce stress and even help reduce symptoms associated with ADD and ADHD (those who suffer with these conditions typically have low levels of B-Phenylethylamine in their systems).
