PEA (Phenylethylamine) 750 mg 60 capsules
Phenylethylamine 750 mg, 60 capsules
Description
Phenylethylamine (PEA) is a natural neuromodulator (similar to a neurotransmitter) in your brain that helps regulate mood, focus, and stress. Your brain produces it from the essential amino acid L-Phenylalanine. It is also present in cocoa and various foods in small amounts. Exercise seems to increase PEA levels and may account for the mood boost accompanied by working out or running. Low levels of PEA have been found with those with Depression and ADHD/ADD.
Effects:
May enhance mood, focus, reduce stress, and increase energy.
Users
Commonly used by students, athletes, and bodybuilders.
Dosage:
Start with 1 capsule with a meal. Up to 2 capsules may be used daily or as directed by your doctor.

This product is best taken as needed. If used daily take 2-3 days off a week for best results.
Always take the lowest effective dose.
When can I feel it?
Effects are generally noticed within an hour to a few days.

Do not combine with stimulants or MAOI medications.

'Well i finished my bottle and have enjoyed the mental mood boost and focus I experienced while on PEA. I was in a more out going mood while on them , felt less stress during my nursing tests, my gf, and my clinical work. For whatever reason squats seemed easier at the gym. I was singing in my car more,and used more of a wide range of tone in my voice while doing so.
Overall for it doing what it claims to do i would give this product a 8 out of 10.
I however did wish that i tried a higher dose everynow and then, but i enjoyed it at 2 caps and wanted it to last.'

Focus: 8/10:
Focus from PEA usage was improved to a degree. If taken pre-workout, it was very apparent that I had an increased mind-muscle connection. It isn't comparable to the focus achieved from something like adderal/ritalin (for me), but it is a very controlled focus. Definitely effective for a variety of things, the gym, studying, etc...
Mood/Euphoria: 9/10:
I'll speak more about this later, but after finding the RIGHT dosage, PEA's effect on mood is very notable. After about 45-60 minutes of taking PEA, I felt more calm/relaxed. From about the 60 minute to the 90 minute mark after ingestion I would have a marked increase in mood/euphoria. It significantly decreases feelings of anxiety and increases social presence. After about 90 minutes this slowly wears off, but the relaxed and "open" feelings persist for another hour or so.
Usage/Dosage:
I'll just give my experiences with this. For me, I HAD to be on an empty stomach (2.5+ hours without eating) prior to use if I wanted to get effects from PEA. Dosage wise, for the best effects, I had to start at 3 caps (2250mg). Since the effects tend to wear off quickly, I found the best combination for me was 3 caps at once, 1 cap 15 minutes later, and another cap 15 minutes after that. This has proven to be my go-to dose.
I haven't really combined much with PEA, but I found adrenalean + 3 caps of PEA to be a very stellar combo for improving mood and mental alertness. I could study for 4+ hours straight on this. Very good stuff.
Overall:9/10
Overall I have to give PEA high marks. The only downside for me is that I have to be on a very empty stomach to get much out of it, and that I need to take a relatively high dose to get the desired effects. However, I truly believe PEA to be a great addition to any regiment, whether it be for studying, a party aid, or prior to working out. I will continue to buy and use PEA, albeit sparingly to avoid tolerance. Definitely gets a THUMBS UP from this guy!
