Phenylethylamine (PEA) -is one more incredible ingredient to mention that is included in the Amigo Charge. This ingredient is the natural endorphin phenylethylamine, or PEA, a compound naturally produced by the brain. When taken orally, PEA is known to readily cross the blood brain barrier and become immediately available for use. Although it is produced by the brain, it can also be found naturally in two foods: chocolate and AFA (blue-green) algae, and as a key ingredient in the Amigo Charge. It is a natural mood elevator produced by the body but does not have long-lasting effects.

When taken consistently, phenylethylamine (PEA) is responsible for the feelings and experiences associated with mental awareness, concentration and attention. It can also create feelings of joy, pleasure and well-being. The feelings you experience when you are in love!

How the PEA found in Amigo Charge works on Depression
It was discovered that the amount of phenylethylamine (PEA) in the brains of depressed patients was less than that of normal individuals, and that PEA given orally to individuals suffering from depression was able to reverse the depressive condition. In fact, it has been observed that most antidepressant drug treatments act by increasing the level of phenylethylamine (PEA) in the brain. In one study, when taken orally (10 mg/day), PEA was shown to decrease the symptoms of depression in 60 percent of the patients tested. The patients did not develop tolerance, and PEA remained effective over time. None of the side effects associated with conventional antidepressant drugs was experienced (i.e., nausea, fatigue, decreased libido, cardiovascular problems). It has been found that if you give phenylethylamine (PEA) to people with depression, about 60% show an immediate recovery— in as little as a half an hour. On average, patients did not gain weight. In fact many actually lost the weight they had gained on the conventional antidepressant therapy.

In today’s society, for a variety of reasons, women experience depression about twice as often as men. This can lead to profound feeling of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness. This may be why many women may turn to feel good foods, like chocolate, which contains phenylethylamine (PEA) when they feel depressed.

How the PEA in Amigo Charge works on Attention Deficit Disorder
PEA can play an important role in the pathogenesis of learning disabilities and Attention Deficit Disorder. In the brain, phenylethylamine (PEA) is captured into the presynaptic vessicles of the brain neurons and occupies the space normally taken by dopamine. This leads to an increase in free-circulating dopamine, enhancing dopaminergic transmission, which alleviates depression and Attention Deficit Disorder while increasing concentration and elevating mood.

The “Phenylethylamine Hypothesis of Affective Behavior” states that PEA is a neuromodulator responsible for triggering or sustaining wakefulness, alertness, and excitement. PEA induces behavioral and electrophysiological effects similar to those of some amphetamine derivatives such as Adderall® and methylphenidate (Ritalin®). However, unlike these drugs, phenylethylamine (PEA) is endogenous to the brain and does not develop tolerance or dependency, nor does it produce any negative side effects.

The PEA found in Amigo Charge has been effective at significantly improving concentration and mental performance shortly after consumption and may therefore prove to be a safe and effective natural substance alternative instead of a synthetic for the treatment of ADD.

How the PEA found in Amigo Charge affects Mood Elevation
The “Phenylethylamine Hypothesis of Affective Behavior” states that PEA is a neuromodulator that positively affects mood, attention, pleasure-seeking behavior, and libido.

A British research team reports findings suggesting that moderate exercise increases phenylethylamine (PEA) levels for most people. They say that this increase causes the euphoric mood often called “runners’ high.” And because depressed people tend to have low PEA levels, the researchers say there now is an explanation of why exercise has a natural antidepressant action.

The Nottingham Trent University research team studied 20 healthy young men. The men had their phenylethylamine (PEA) levels measured after one day of no exercise and after one day of moderate exercise. All but two of the men had increased PEA levels 24 hours after their sessions.

We highly recommend exercise as part of your normal daily routine. But you no longer have to jog five miles a day, eat two pounds of blue-green algae or ingest half a gallon of chocolate ice cream to receive the amounts of PEA daily to keep you in a great mood. Amigo™ “CHARGE” contains phenylethylamine (PEA) and may just be your natural answer to keeping depression under control while increasing your mental awareness, concentration, attention and feeling of well being. Always consult with your health professional if you are taking medication for depression or other related conditions.

Paper or Plastic?
This organic or synthetic dilemma forces us to make decisions in many areas of our lives, not just in which type of bag we use to carry home our food. The choice of organic or synthetic should be absolutely clear to the health conscious person.

The U.S. Surgeon General has reported that 68 percent of all disease is diet related. Yet the food available for purchase in our grocery stores is lacking the nutrients we need for our bodies to function normally. U.S. Senate Document 264 reports that the soils in which most of our foods are grown are depleted in nutrients and minerals. In order to offset this nutritional deficiency problem, the Surgeon General has recommended that everyone should be taking supplemental vitamins and minerals. Which brings us back to — “organic or synthetic?”

The supplements that are usually offered in pharmacies or “big box” stores, as a general rule, are not from natural food sources. Unfortunately, this is where most people purchase their supplements. Supplements containing synthetic ingredients often have amounts that are far below what the body actually needs to remain healthy. In addition, the body processes synthetic vitamins differently than it does organic.

The best answer, to obtain our essential nutrients, would be to only eat organic whole foods that have been grown in mineral rich soil and prepared fresh without cooking over 180°, microwaving, freezing, irradiating, radiating, preserving, etc. However, cost factors, convenience, habit, lack of nutritional education, and lack of availability prevents this from happening. The lack of nutrients in this fast food lifestyle is a major contributor in the development of chronic degenerative disease that is plaguing our world today.

Amigo Charge is a great source of nutrient-rich whole foods to provide the body with what it needs to build a strong immune system and be truly healthy!
