PEA + Hordenine Quick Guide

Why combine them?
- Phenethylamine (PEA): Quick mood lift & energy boost, but broken down fast by MAO-B.
- Hordenine: Mild stimulant & reversible MAO-B inhibitor, extends and strengthens PEA's effects.

Basic Protocol
1. Take Hordenine 50–100 mg orally, 15–20 min before PEA.
2. Take PEA 250–500 mg (can go higher if tolerated) once hordenine lead-in is complete.
3. Optional booster: Half your PEA dose 45–60 min later, without extra hordenine.

3-Day Bare-Bones Cycle
- Day 1 (Strong): Hordenine 75–100 mg + PEA 500–800 mg (split optional).
- Day 2 (Moderate): Hordenine 50–75 mg + PEA 300–500 mg.
- Day 3 (Light): Hordenine 50 mg + PEA 250–400 mg. 
Then take 1–2 days off before repeating.

Onset Timeline
- 0–10 min: Subtle mental clarity.
- 10–20 min: Mood lift, energy, talkativeness.
- 20–45 min: Plateau.
- 45–60+ min: Fade or drop-off.

Tips
- Empty stomach = faster onset, but higher risk of GI upset.
- Take with a small snack to reduce diarrhea risk.
- Avoid stacking with strong stimulants to reduce BP/HR spikes.

Cautions
- Avoid if on MAOIs, SSRIs, SNRIs, or with certain health conditions.
- Monitor blood pressure and heart rate.
- Keep hordenine under ~200 mg/day.
