…discussing phenylethylamine supplement found in chocolate for focus and dopamine
“Now, there is one compound that you are all familiar with and you've probably actually taken without realizing it that increases dopamine. And that's something called PEA for phenyl ethylamine, technically beta phenyl ethylamine. PEA is found in various foods. Chocolate just happens to be one enriched in PEA and can increase synaptic levels of dopamine. I personally take PEA from time to time as a focus and work aid in order to do intense bouts of work. Again, I don't do that too often. It's usually for mental work. And I will take 500 milligrams of PEA and I'll take 300 milligrams of alpha GPC.”
