The Science
Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is an extensively researched natural ingredient for important neuroprotective actions.* This ingredient has been utilized for decades and is available in dietary supplements worldwide as an option for the onset of physiological stress.*
PEA is an endogenous fatty acid amide that belongs to the family of biologically active lipids that are increased by the body to soothe discomfort naturally.* PEA was identified over 60 years ago when it was isolated from extracts of brain, liver, and muscle of rat and guinea pig. It was later found to be contained in chicken egg yolk, olive oil, safflower and soy lecithin, peanut meal and several other foods.
Since PEA is a lipid that has a large particle size in its unprocessed state, that can limit its solubility and bioavailability. However, ultra-micronized PEA has been processed using an air-jet milling technique. Both its particle size and purity are then confirmed. Research shows that, in animal studies, this form of PEA has a “superior” action. That’s why we use this form in (PEA)+.
The biological properties and mechanisms of PEA naturally produced by the body, involve a variety of effects including those upon glial and mast cells, cannabinoid-2 receptors, NF-kB, and effects on the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors. Glial and mast cells naturally play a key role in the body’s management of discomfort. Cannabinoid-2 receptors are more often found on immune cells, in the gastrointestinal tract, and in the peripheral nervous system. In addition, PEA enhances the effects of the fatty acid anandamide (also referred to as the “bliss molecule”) when it binds to CB receptors.*
