PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide)

Benefits of PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide):

Helps to reduce chronic discomfort and inflammation • A naturally occurring long-chain fatty acid amide • Produced in response to various triggers including inflammation
Country of Origin
Form
Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is a long chain fatty acid naturally produced by the body but also found in foods such as egg yolk, soy and sunflower oils
PEA is an endocannabinoid produced locally by the cells, and it accumulates in tissues following any injury, physical stress or pain
By inhibiting the activation of mast cells that cause additional inflammation (such as the release of histamine), PEA acts as a potent anti-inflammatory agent
This unique molecule has other direct and indirect mechanisms of action; it even enhances the action of other endocannabinoids through its “entourage effect”
