> What is the source of the PEA? I don't think I've ever seen a PEA supplement. The older MAOI's do inhibit catabolism of phenethylamines. I don't know what the dangers are, but look at what happens when substitued PEA's like MDMA are combined with MAOIs. Hyperpyrexic crisis I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Even the advert admits that "Most PEA absorbed from the bowel is destroyed in the blood or liver by the enzyme MAO-B".Read the reviews here: http://www.1fast400.com/product_reviews.php?products_id=4946
Read this one especially: http://www.1fast400.com/product_reviews_info.php?reviews_id=12672Even though there are many phenethylamine related drugs (like MDMA, Mescaline, etc), PEA on its own has very little effect on man, even through IV injections. I doubt chocolate 'buzz' has anything to do with its PEA content. Seems you must inhibit the MAO-B to allow it to reach & pass the BBB. Of course PEA made WITHIN the brain does have an effect, supposedly that 'falling in love' feeling.
Ever read PIHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known And Loved) by Alexander Shulgin? Its a fantastic read - HIGHLY recommended.
