Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA)(Cat No.:R025080)is a naturally occurring fatty acid amide known for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and neuroprotective properties. Found in foods and produced by the body, PEA works by modulating immune cell responses and activating the endocannabinoid system, particularly the PPAR-α receptor, to reduce pain and inflammation. It has been studied for applications in managing chronic pain, nerve damage, and inflammatory conditions. Due to its safety profile and lack of significant side effects, PEA is used in nutraceuticals and is being researched as a therapeutic option in pain management and neuroinflammation.
