Contains the precursor to PEA, a neuromodulator important for attention and cognition*
Key ingredients
DL-phenylalanine: Precursor to phenylethylamine (PEA), dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. PEA is a neuromodulator shown to increase the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine (1). Dopamine and norepinephrine play an important role in attention and cognition (2). PEA levels were found to be significantly lower in individuals with focus issues compared to controls (3).
