I'm pretty sure I have ADD, as well.

Self-diagnosed, that is... But we are great! Einstein had ADD, as far as i know.

Hm... One of Einstein's sons had Schizophrenia, which correlates with abnormally high levels of PEA.

Awesome. The more the merrier. ;-)

Also, this seems like it might be a more fragile molecule than a lot of the stuff we're used to. In addition to its destruction via saliva and MAO-B;

I wonder what the activity of the carbonate form is. The stuff Purebulk sells is PEA hydrocholoride (HCL)

As far as dosage goes, my kitchen scale isn't sensitive enough to calculate milligram, much less microgram dosages. I'm thinking diluting a saturated solution may be an option for me when I make mixes from powder. Here's the best info I could find on solubility for PEA.

Hm... remarkably, hordenine looks light enough to fly. I've ordered 25g of the purified stuff. I haven't noticed strong effects from PEA so far, as far as pheromonal effects on others are concerned, but I haven't had an ideal testing environment yet. I wonder if hordenine would have the capacity to extend a PEA mix? It's a long shot, but worth testing. Just in case the PEA is chemically reacting with other mones, I think I'll try layering it separately with the hordenine rather than mixing it in.
