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.

PEA is said to support energy, curb appetite, and provide positive mood. The effects of PEA by itself are powerful, but short-lasting, due to the rapid metabolism of PEA in the body. Combining PEA with Hordenine can make the effects more consistent at lower serving sizes, and allow PEA's benefits last up to 2 hours.

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.
