PEA - Phenethylamine - The Love Drug! Keep The Love Buzz


A strong whiff of armpit pheromones isn't enough
PEA is the 'attraction' chemical... love at first sight... keeping your partner and yourself in PEA keeps relationships a thrill

PEA PRODUCTION AND ACTIVATION

L-phenylalanine is a precursor for PEA. Vitamin B6 is the key nutrient in the production of the beneficial biogenic dopamine and PEA. Vitamin B6 in the form of pyridoxine hydrochloride is biologically inactive. Once B6 enters a cell,enzymatic transfer of the g-phosphoryl group from ATP forms the coenzyme pyridoxal 5’-phosphat, PLP. This conversion to the active form requires magnesium and vitamin B2. PLP is a prostetic group for many enzymeS that catalyze a vareity of reactions involving amino acids. PLP is tightly bound to to the enzyme by many weak noncovalent interactions.

WHAT AFFECTS LOVE?

As difficult as love is to define, its first flickers apparently begin in the prefrontal cortex, the section of your brain that enables you to anticipate the joy of being with a particul person, even one you ever met. If it´s powerful enough, this so called memory of the future engages the ancestral “fight and flight” response of the lower brain, which is responsible for such involuntary functions as stammering, tripping, drooling and laughing too loudly at someone else´s joke.

Endorphines fuel the chemical cocktail. Similar in structure to morphine, endorphines are perhaps best known for creating a blissful sense of calm in long distance runners. They leave lovers feeling similary tranquil, but not in the early going. During the initial stages of attraction, endorphines serve as a catalyst by triggering special cells in the midbrain to produce dopamine and PEA, powerful natural amphetamines. In the boot camp of romance, dopamine and PEA are the drill sergeant. They barks at the brain to select a plan of action, any plan.

SIMILARITY BETWEEN PEA AND AMPHETAMINE:

Picture of Amphetamine Picture of Phenylethylamine
Amfetamine Phenylethylamine

As we can see PEA and amphetamine are very similar to each other. Some of the effects of amphetamine is increased energy, enhanced awakeness, less appetite, increased breathe and heart rate. Do you recognize this? It seems to be the same effects as that of PEA when we fall in love. An overcosumption of amphetamine and overproduktion of PEA leads to paranoia.





Does PEA affect other animals?

It's recently been discovered that carnivorous animals such as lions and tigers have much higher levels of PEA than herbivores, sometimes 3,000 times as much. American scientists first isolated it from the urine of bobcats (photo, left), which is used by American gardeners to scare off rodents and rabbits. They found that it activates one of the mouse's trace amine-associated receptors (TAAR4), making the mice (and rats) take avoiding action by triggering their aversion circuits. Rodents avoided lion's urine, but not when the phenylethylamine had been removed from it. It may well be that the phenylethylamine levels in carnivores are a product of breakdown of meat proteins, which would be a source of phenylalanine. And it is also possible that Jerry Mouse lacks the important TAAR4 gene.

need to research MAO Inhibitor Activity


[link to thesunlightexperiment.com (secure)]

Why We Should Be Interested in Natural MAO Inhibitors
MAO stands for monoamine oxidase.

It's an enzyme that breaks down certain neurotransmitters in the brain like dopamine, serotonin, and dimethyltryptamine. All of which are crucial to brain function in various ways.

There are actually 2 types of MAO in the body, and although similar, have different preferences for the monoamines they break down (deaminate). MAO-A, and MAO-B.

Inhibiting this enzyme slow the breakdown of neurotransmitters, allowing their numbers to increase.





Looks like Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza Glabra) is the most palatable, although 5. Turmeric (Curcuma Longa) is high too!



so date night looks like:





- Beefy broth/marmite with lashings of basil or a curry
- Licorice sweets

- followed by chocolate for good measure

 Quoting: Hillarys_Dirty_Diaper


1 : B6, B2 and then an inhibitor to allow for PEA to accumulate.

I think the one you need for PEA is:

2 : Monoamine oxidase B "MAOB"

Sounds like it's dangerous to go synthetic here, so natural ones are things like Passionflower - Licorice - Ayahuasca etc

see: [link to www.livestrong.com (secure)]



also you'll need a source of Phenylalanine which converts to PEA with the vits above


3 : CHOCOLATE/Cocoa is a source!

but generally meats/dairy/protein.... and herbs like basil





B Vits are key. (smoking depletes this btw)

MAO-B inhibitor and ancient cure-all! Credited as having saved India from the Great Flu Pandemic

Andrographis Paniculata

Conclusion: The present study suggests that neoandrographolide could be used as a potent inhibitor of MAO-B protein. However, it has to be validated using in-vivo and in-vitro studies to suggest the potency of neoandrographolide to inhibit the target protein, which could make neoandrographolide as an effective drug lead for the treatment of Alzhemier’s disease

Or maybe just drink a bunch of aspartame?


"THE BOTTOM LINE
1. Aspartame is metabolized to phenylalanine.

2. Phenylalanine is metabolized to phenylethylamine inducing competitive inhibition of 4.1.1.28 leading to decreased synthesis of serotonin, dopamine, and histamine.

3. Increases in phenylethylamine leads to excretion and associated depletion of serotonin and dopamine (catecholamine depletion).

4. As always, with depletion of catecholamines epinephrine (adrenaline) synthesis is the first to suffer dysfunction and suffers the most. Epinephrine and histamine share an agonist-antagonist interaction. With both histamine and epinephrine synthesis being compromised the problems grow."

Been a while since i saved this thread.
If the OP is still around what does he\she think of Pure Hemp
Powder.?
I have been taking it for weight gain after losing 5 stone in 3 months due to Early (2019) Covid infection.
Whatever that shit was it damn nearly killed me. 13 weeks i had that fucking shit go through me.
Took me from 17.5 stone to 12.5 stone in 12 weaks.

Back up to 14.3 stone now but still listless and to be honest no mo-jo for months and months.

Would and increase of PEA affect or be affected by the Hemp powder ?

Will check back now and again to see if anyone reads this old thread.hf
