Since the topic came up today, we have gathered some great info on PEA. I also found some great brands at the 25% discount found here:
Please share feedback if you use PEA. I have no personal experience using it but the research is fascinating.
"Dr Paul Hrkal, will share the highlights of over 80 years research and more than 300 scientific and clinical studies on the effectiveness and safety of P.E.A. Learn about this ground-breaking “ortho-molecule” and its impact on a wide range of health conditions including pain, neuro-inflammation, allergies, mood, immunity and much more."
"You might have heard about the pain-relieving effects of cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), two phytocannabinoids derived from the Cannabis sativa L. plant, but have you heard of a lesser-known compound known as palmitoylethanolamide (PEA)? (3) Research demonstrates that PEA, a compound that behaves similarly to endocannabinoids (compounds produced by the body that interact with cannabinoid receptors), offers some promising benefits particularly for individuals suffering from chronic pain. Additionally, PEA may serve as an appropriate alternative to CBD and THC for some individuals." https://fullscript.com/blog/palmitoylethanolamide-pea
"Research on PEA has been conducted for more than 50 years, and over 350 papers are referenced in PubMed describing the physiological properties of this endogenous modulator and its pharmacological and therapeutical profile. The major focus of PEA research, since the work of the Nobel laureate Levi-Montalcini in 1993, has been neuropathic pain states and mast cell related disorders."
"Not to be confused with the tiny green pea that many enjoy at dinner time, this PEA is short for palmitoylethanolamide. PEA is a naturally occurring fatty acid derivative made in your body, found in small amounts in certain foods, and is now available as a dietary supplement. PEA has many names, and may also be referred to as palmitate monoethanolamide or palmitic acid monoethanolamide."
"The body produces higher amounts of PEA in the presence of physical and mental stress. Infection, pain, allergens, toxins, UV damage, pesticides, glutens, and carcinogens can also trigger its production. Not surprisingly, Palmitoylethanolamide has anti-inflammatory and pain-fighting properties and is being investigated as a treatment for various conditions.
Specifically, palmitoylethanolamide has been shown to have nerve-protecting effects and may help treat neurological disorders."
"Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is a chemical made from fat. It is found naturally in foods such as egg yolks and peanuts, and in the human body. PEA can bind to cells in the body and reduce pain and swelling."
