N-Methyl-B-Phenylethylamine is a relatively new type of Beta-phenylethylamine (PEA) that is being used extensively in dietary supplement preparations. Individuals can consume N-Methyl-Beta-Phenylethylamine regularly through their diet or take it in the form of supplements. Since PEA acts on presynaptic dopaminergic nerve terminals to activate release of dopamine, a 'feel good' hormone, use of PEA supplements has often been linked to feeling of euphoria. N-Methyl-Beta-Phenylethylamine can also have a considerable impact on mood. So, individuals taking this supplement can expect improved mood and lesser food cravings. Since n-methyl-Beta-phenylethylamine leads to increased physical activity, greater number of calories are burnt and maximum weight loss is achieved.

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.

The chemical title is 17-hydroxy-yohimban-16- carboxylic acid, methyl ester. Yohimbine works as a weak blocker of alpha-adrenergic receptor. It is used in angina pectoris and arteriosclerosis, and has been used as a mydriatic and local anesthetic and for its supposed aphrodisiac properties. Yohimbine is a therapeutic derivative of the bark of a tree named Corynanthe yohimbine.
