Whoa. This stuff is wicked intense 2 caps downed another 2 caps at 750 millgrams blasted me in like 14 minutes my perceptions became freaking clear and focused and my buzz was riding for about an hour took another 4 capsules at once and it was just electric. Don't take with any food cuz you won't feel anything take it in the morning or before bed if you wanted fucked up dreams like real colorful and active.

Wow. PEA is one hell of a drug. Effects lasting for around an hour, feelings of euphoria and heightened senses, really spaced out, floating sensations but I was still able to retain my focus, balance, motor skills. Felt better than an alcohol buzz, no ill effects during or after, and I felt in control for the entire 'trip.' The only downside was that my skin turned noticeably red. Otherwise, this is a great alcohol/illicit drug alternative that lets you remain in control while still feeling great.

This stuff works! and i was very surprised with results. I have been always very skeptical about cognitive nutrition in general, i mean brain vitamins and stuff but for one or other reason, all i've tried has worked for me but i keep guessing :S.

PEA improves your brain a lot. It gives you mental clearness, alertness improved, well mood and focus. Actually i've found more success from using it for study purposes rather than bodybuilding lol. It makes me focus more on subject and avoid distractors (of course you need to have initiative ).

Those that feel weird sometimes, without energy and without concentration and focus, should look further into PEA supplements, they are cheap, they work and you have nothing to lose with them, they are very safe.

Unique nutrition was the one i've tried, so i recommend it to anyone, plus there's a new version that is Double strength.

Ever since hearing that this was the active in chocolate that made people feel good, I knew I wanted to try some. I bought 10g in bulk to try out. My first dose was 200mg, and I felt nothing. I tried 2g next, and waited about 10 min. Then it hit me. I felt like everything in the world was awesome, and that I loved everyone. I just wanted to smile and go up to random people and hug them. It was AWESOME. It was too bad that the effects only lasted about 2 hours. Some people say you need an MAO inhibitor for PEA to work, but I didn't seem to need one. Maybe it would have prolonged the effects? Anyways, if you are looking for something to relax and chill with, grab some PEA. 10/10 while it lasts

I first became apparent of the effects PEA had on my mood when I first tried a sample of Gaspari's Cytolean. It was an amazing experience, but I wasn't quite sure if just the PEA was responsible for it, so Steve sent me some Unique Nutrition PEA to try (thanks again, Steve!). Being that I don't drink, I wanted to recreationally try something for my mood.

Dosing

The bottle says 1-2 caps daily, which I felt was sort of a low dose. It took a while of experimenting with the doses to find my "sweet spot". Sometimes it was hit or miss, not feeling the effects 100%, but the effects were very noticeable when it did work for me.

1-3 caps - Felt nothing, even on an empty stomach.

4+ caps - This is where PEA seemed to work best for me. 3 caps, on an empty stomach, then 3 caps 15 mins later gave me sort of a euphoric feeling, a sense of well being, and made me smile a lot. Light feeling in the back of the head, which was a strange but neat feeling.

4+ caps with stimulants - Improved focus and mental acuity. I feel it worked best with AN's RPM before a workout.

I have read that PEA with the use of an MAO-B inhibitor such as hordenine or Deprenyl makes using PEA a much more enjoyable experience, and the feeling lasts longer. I have not tried it with one, except for the use of Cytolean. I am definitely going to want to try some more/different nootropics (so many damn ones to choose from), as focus seems to always be a hard thing to attain.
