Phenylethylamine PEA by Ray Sahelian, M.D.
Phenylethylamine is now available as a raw material ingredient and being sold at 8 dollars a kilo. Phenylethylamine is an alkaloid and monoamine.
Function of phenylethylamine
In the human brain, phenylethylamine may work as
a neurotransmitter. Phenethylamine is a natural compound made from the amino acid
phenylalanine.
Phenylethylamine and MAO
inhibitor
Concentrations of phenylethylamine PEA are
greatly increased in brain following administration of monoamine oxidase
inhibitor antidepressants. Phenylethylamine
is a metabolite of the MAOI antidepressant phenelzine.
Phenylethylamine chocolate
Some individuals who crave chocolate in large amounts tend to do so when they
feel emotionally unfulfilled. There have been a series of articles in lay
magazines that chocolate's mood elevating properties reflect 'drug-like'
substances such as anandamines, caffeine, phenylethylamine and magnesium.
However, the levels of these substances are so low as to preclude such
influences. As all palatable foods stimulate endorphin release in the brain this
is the most likely mechanism to account for the temporary elevation of mood from
chocolate consumption. Phenylethylamine
is found in many foods such as chocolate, especially after microbial
fermentation. It has been suggested that phenethylamine from food may have
psychoactive effects in sufficient quantities. However, it is quickly
metabolized by the enzyme MAO-B, preventing significant concentrations from
reaching the brain.
