Ultra-micronized PEA
PEA (palmitoylethanolamide) is a fatty acid amide that has been studied for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions.
- Ultra-micronized-PEA enhances the efficacy and potency of PEA’s anti-inflammatory and analgesic therapeutic properties
- Formulations utilize micro-PEA “entourage” effect on certain drugs that impact the endocannabinoid system
- Offers greater absorption and bioavailability, preclinical and clinical efficacy, and a favorable safety profile
- Delivers clinically meaningful anti-inflammatory properties
- A robust clinical safety dataset exists with considerable literature in the European Union on its efficacy
