Discover all the benefits of PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide)
The palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is a natural amide formed by the combination of ethanolamide and palmitic acid. It is an endogenous lipid, naturally synthesized by the body’s cells, that belongs to the family of N-acylethanolamine (NAE) fatty acid amides.
Its role in the body is essential, as it participates in multiple physiological functions that help maintain the metabolic and cellular homeostasis, modulating key processes such as inflammation, the immune response, and pain perception.
PEA also has an indirect effect on the endocannabinoid system, enhancing the action of anandamide (AEA) and inhibiting the enzyme that breaks it down. In this way, it acts similarly to cannabinoids, although without the psychoactive effects, promoting the body’s internal balance.
Today, it is found in advanced formulas designed to improve quality of life, such as Alyvia, a supplement containing patented PEA (Levagen®+) with high absorption and Boswellia Serrata in clinically effective doses, designed to naturally relieve pain and improve well-being.
Effectively relieves pain
The PEA has been shown to be a natural pain modulator, especially in cases of chronic or neuropathic pain. It works by regulating the response of glial cells and reducing the release of pro-inflammatory mediators that sensitize the nerves.
By enhancing the action of anandamide, it promotes more balanced signaling in the endocannabinoid system, reducing the intensity of pain signals reaching the brain.
Reduces inflammation
Inflammation is a natural response of the body, but when it becomes chronic, it can damage tissues and worsen certain conditions. PEA helps control this response thanks to its ability to inhibit the activation of mast cells and microglia, key cells involved in the release of inflammatory substances.
This helps reduce discomfort associated with injuries, muscle strain, or inflammatory conditions, improving mobility and physical comfort. Its anti-inflammatory action occurs without the typical side effects of some synthetic anti-inflammatory drugs.
Promotes better-quality sleep
The neurological well-being provided by PEA can have a positive impact on sleep quality. By reducing pain and modulating inflammation, it helps make nighttime rest deeper and more restorative. In addition, its influence on the endocannabinoid system and neurotransmitter regulation promotes a state of relaxation that makes it easier to fall asleep.
May have antidepressant effects
Various studies indicate that PEA could act as an adjunct in improving mood. Its interaction with the endocannabinoid system and its ability to modulate inflammation, which is associated with certain depressive states, make it a potential ally against symptoms of low mood or apathy.
Helps prevent neurological damage
Neuroinflammation and oxidative stress are two factors that contribute to neuronal deterioration. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, PEA may help protect nervous tissue from these processes.
Patents supporting PEA's efficacy
Levagen®+
This is a clinically proven PEA patent that uses LipiSperse® technology to improve its absorption. This system increases bioavailability by 75% compared with standard PEA, ensuring that the body can make the most of it.
In addition, it contains 90% active PEA, the highest concentration available in water-dispersible formulations.
LipiSperse® technology
This patented technology optimizes PEA dispersion in aqueous media, promoting prolonged and uniform release. This facilitates more efficient intestinal absorption and a sustained effect over time, enhancing the compound's benefits without the need for high doses.
