Phenylethylamine (PEA, β-phenylethylamine (β-PEA), 2-phenylethan-1-amine) is a trace amine found in a number of plant and animal species and derived from the amino acid L-Phenylalanine. When taken as a dietary supplement, Beta-Phenylethylamine HCl improves the output of neurotransmitters called catecholamines, while reducing their re-uptake resulting in increased concentrations in the brain and plasma. Catecholamines include epinephrine (adrenaline), norepinephrine, and dopamine.

The effects of a Phenylethylamine supplement include a powerful increase in mental and physical energy, significant mood enhancement, improved cognitive performance, and a decrease in appetite, as well as several other secondary effects. Phenylethylamine is rapidly broken down and has a half-life of only around 1-2 hours. It is often taken in combination with Hordenine to lengthen the duration of the experience. The recommended Phenylethylamine dosage is around 100-500 mg, in the morning or 30-40 minutes prior to exercise.
