As a catecholamine antecedent and nutrient in chocolate, it acts a stimulant to the central nervous system without side effects like nervousness or jitteriness that is almost normal with stimulants. PEA acts on alpha receptors in the brain and triggers the releases dopamine in neural cells. It’s known to reduce food cravings, affect the mood, brings a sense of satiety as well as increasing the metabolic rate.

Its anti-cancer effects are also being studied by researchers. Naringin is treated with potassium hydroxide or another strong base, and then catalytically hydrogenated to make naringin dihydrochalcone, which is used as a sugar-free sweetener 300 times sweater then sugar.

Phenylethlamine HCL is a salt of phenylethylamine. It is a crystalline solid and is formed by treating phenylethylamine with HCl. Its IUPAC name is 2 phenylethylamine HCl. The scientific name elucidates its chemical structure. It is an aromatic compound meaning that it has a basic benzene ring. It further has a two carbon chain attached at position 2 of the ring and the chain terminates in an amino group. It occurs naturally in some foods like chocolates but the food item might get metabolized too quickly sometimes for it to have a significant effect on the body. This substance has quite profound effects on the level of dopamine in the central nervous system, provided it passes the blood brain barrier. It increases dopamine level and at the same time inhibits dopamine transmitters resulting in a buildup of dopamine in the brain. While excessive levels of dopamine in the CNS are not healthy, the neurotransmitter does regulate cognition, mood, voluntary movement and other brain functions.

R-Beta-Methylphenylethylamine HCL is a relatively new compound which is the active isomer of Methylphenylethylamine similar to how 1R-25 Norephedrine was of PPA many years ago.
