Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) Powder is an endogenous fatty acid amide belonging to the N-acylethanolamine family. It is naturally present in the body and found in foods like egg yolks, peanuts, and soybeans. PEA acts as a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-α) agonist, helping regulate inflammation and pain signaling.
Key benefits include:
Chronic pain relief – Supports management of neuropathic and inflammatory pain
Anti-inflammatory – Reduces cytokine production and mast cell activation
Neuroprotection – Helps maintain healthy nerve function
Well-tolerated – Safe for long-term supplementation without dependency
High purity ≥98.0% (HPLC tested)
GMP, ISO, and HACCP-certified manufacturing
Micro-size grade available for enhanced bioavailability
Non-GMO, allergen-free, solvent-free
Proven stability for formulation in capsules, powders, and functional foods

Q: What is PEA good for? What conditions does PEA help with?
A: PEA is primarily recognized for its powerful natural anti-inflammatory and pain-blocking properties. It is extensively studied for managing chronic pain conditions, including:
Neuropathic pain (like sciatica and diabetic nerve pain)
Osteoarthritis and joint pain
Fibromyalgia
Carpal tunnel syndrome It also supports immune and brain health by calming overactive immune cells (mast cells) and reducing neuroinflammation.
Q: How much PEA should I take per day?
A: A common effective dosage is 300 to 600 mg, taken twice daily. A “loading dose” of 600 mg three times daily for 2-3 weeks is often used for chronic pain, followed by a lower maintenance dose. Always start with the product’s recommended dosage and consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
Q: Is PEA legal to buy and use?
A: Yes. In most countries, including the United States, PEA is classified as a dietary supplement and is legal to purchase over-the-counter without a prescription. It is naturally produced in the body and found in foods like egg yolks and soy.
Q: How long does it take PEA to start working?
A: While some may feel subtle effects within hours, PEA’s benefits are cumulative. For chronic conditions, it typically takes 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use to experience significant and stable relief. Patience and consistency are key.
Q: What does PEA do to the brain?
A: In the brain, PEA acts as a powerful neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory molecule. It helps calm glial cells, the brain’s immune cells, thereby reducing neuroinflammation linked to brain fog, fatigue, and chronic pain. This action helps restore balance and supports overall cognitive wellness.
It is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the correct dosage for your specific health status.
