What is Palmitoylethanolamide?
Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is a fatty acid substance that is naturally made by our bodies and is involved in cell protection, inflammation, and discomfort regulation.
PEA has been used for decades as a nutritional supplement and is thought to be an anti-inflammatory, and provide analgesic properties.
PEA was first discovered by scientists in 1957 and has since then been studied for its role in inflammation and discomfort. Fatty acid amines, such as Palmitoylethanolamide, are combinations of fatty acids and amines that are found in most parts of the body and in our cells. They play a key role in the biochemical signaling process.
Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is also present in many types of food that we regularly consume such as peanuts, eggs, and milk. It is naturally present in the brain and spinal cord.

Palmitoylethanolamide Side Effects
There is evidence to show that PEA is safe when used at the recommended amounts. Palmitoylethanolamide has been around for more than 60 years and no adverse events have been reported.
There were a few patients who experienced mild stomach discomfort but it was later found that the problem was caused by a sweetener known as sorbitol added to the PEA supplement. Today's PEA capsules don't contain sorbitol or any other ingredient except pure Palmitoylethanolamide encased in a vegetarian capsule.
