Cognitive Nutrition Phenylethylamine (PEA) 250 mg 120 capsules

PEA (PhenylEthylAmine) is an neuromodulator (monoamine) in the brain involved in mood and mental alertness. It naturally occurs in some amounts in chocolate, certain algae’s and is produced in the brain from the amino acid D-Phenylalanine.

Phenylethylamine is related to the following neurotransmitters and neuroactive compounds:

Dopamine (3,4-dihydroxy-phenethylamine), Tyramine (4-hydroxy-phenethylamine), Epinepinephrine (â,3,4-trihydroxy-N-methyl-phenethylamine), Ephedrine (N-methyl-â-hydroxy-amphetamine), etc.

Its chemically structural relation to these compounds account for its unique effects on mood, focus, mental alertness, and energy. However its effects are relatively short acting as it is usually broken down by the enzyme MAO-B within several hours. This makes it an ideal short-lived yet safe fast acting compound.
