Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is a powerful natural active ingredient discovered in 1957, which boasts of the fact that our lamented Professor "Nobel Prize" Rita Levi Montalcini in 1993 he identified the complex mechanisms of action, highlighting its activity orally in the reduction of tissue inflammation (inflammation) and mast cell degranulation in vivo, decreasing the hyperalgesia that accompanies the compression of the peripheral nerve. The same Prof. Montalcini, already made it clear that Palmitoylethanolamide could have interesting properties also aimed at the treatment of chronic pain, with potential other indications, highlighted by a vast scientific literature available.

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), the amide of palmitic acid with ethanolamine, is an active element present in many foods commonly introduced by our diet, such as eggs, peanuts, peas, tomatoes, soy, etc, and is itself produced also from many cells of our organism. It is present in high concentrations in brain tissues and is synthesized starting from phospholipid precursors of cell plasma membranes, being an endogenous factor, produced by our body to counteract inflammation and restore the physiological functionality of damaged tissues.

Being a real lipid mediator of the inflammatory response, it comes into action quickly after the start of the immune response, stimulating the phagocytosis of apoptotic leukocytes and favoring the apoptosis of damaged cells, with a pro-resolutive action on the inflammation that will result also in a consequent reduction of pain. But it doesn't stop there. The mechanisms related to the reduction of inflammation and pain are also related to the ability to bind to some specific receptors activated by peroxisome-alpha proliferators (PPAR-alpha), which are involved in the gene regulation of pain and inflammation.
