The chemical, PEA. How do you get it to release in someone else?

Are you asking how to make someone fall in love with you? Chemically? That is impossible. Think about this, what if it were possible, and someone who you just couldn't stand "made" you be with them, against your will, wouldn't that make you a bit ill? You can not force or impose your will on to another person, even if your intentions are "good". Love is chemically related in brain functions, yes, but not fully understood, and never ever can you manipulate someones chemical make up to be attracted to you. It's like kidnapping, holding hostage, etc.

D-phenylalanine, which does not normally occur in the body or in food, is metabolized to phenylethylamine (PEA), an amphetaminelike compound that occurs normally in the human brain and has been shown to have mood-elevating effects. Although PEA can be synthesized from L-phenylalanine, a large proportion of this amino acid is preferentially converted to L-tyrosine. D-phenylalanine is therefore the preferred substrate for increasing the synthesis of PEA--although L-phenylalanine would also have a mild antidepressant effect because of its conversion to L-tyrosine and its partial conversion to PEA. Because D-phenylalanine is not widely available, the mixture D,L-phenylalanine is often used when an antidepressant effect is desired"


Mega-dose intakes of any amino acid are discouraged and phenylalanine is no exception – where nerve damage may result with intakes approaching 2 grams per day. A condition known as phenylketonuria (PKU), in which phenylalanine cannot be broken down, requires individuals to follow a diet low in this amino acid. Do not take DLPA in conjunction with prescription antidepressants.

Furthermore, there is no secret love potion. Love may be partially based on chemical interactions but the other 99.9867762389% is based on pyschology.

Unfortunately, there is no scientific proof that supports the idea that chemicals cause love to occur. The chemical release phenomenon does not actually result in "love." It is only one of the components of ATTRACTION, however. Just as one becomes immune to a smell, one can become immune to this chemical. Therefore, the other components of "love" must be present: caring, affection, friendship, common interests, etc. Hope this helps...
