How PEA Works
What Is PEA?
and how it works
Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is a natural and powerful way to manage pain, inflammation, and damage from oxidative stress. PEA is made in a similar way in humans and in plants, and it can be isolated from peanuts, soy, egg yolks, and other food sources.
How PEA Has Been Used
to naturally reduce pain
Since the late 1950s, PEA has been known to be an effective method of managing allergic and inflammatory reactions. Like many natural products, PEA exerts its action through multiple pathways.
One of these involves the stimulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) which regulate gene expression.
Another way is by stimulating TRPV1 receptors which can cause inflammation and pain when they are sensitized.
Another is to simply downregulate mast cell production and degranulation. This works through the Autacoid Local Injury Antagonism (ALIA) system. PEA also stimulates the GPCR-55 cannabinoid receptor and also indirectly activates the CB-1 and CB-2 receptors by modulating FAAH.
The amazing, therapeutic effects of PEA are developed through the synergistic (additive) actions of these various mechanisms. These actions are particularly important in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
