Question:

Does anyone know if all blue green algae supplements have the chemical Phenylethylamine in it?

I herd the chemical Phenylethylamine is good for depression and also is called the love chemical. Its found in chololate also. It gives you a state of well being supposidly. I just dont want to open the bottle its not going to have the chemical in it.


Answers:

Phenylethylamine is a simple chemical compound which will be degraded in your stomach or intestine. Therefore, eating it will do nothing.

"Blue-green alga" is an outdated term for cyanobacteria (commonly known as "pond scum"). Cyanobacteria contain some nutrients but they are not a miracle food, and non-toxic types will not affect your brain or mood.

If you have depression, see your doctor; there are many genuine depression medications available.

Basically you should always be skeptical of these health rumors. See the last section of http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/water-ea... for information on "blue-green algae"
