It has been suggested to have useful analgesic properties and has been explored in humans spanning various clinical trials in a variety of pain states for inflammatory and pain syndrome.

How Does Palmitoylethanolamide Work? Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is part of the N-acylethanolamine family and is synthesized and metabolized in cells through several enzymes and provides a multitude of physiological functions related to metabolic homeostasis[1]. N-acylethanolamines are endogenous biologically active lipids. Supplementing with PEA may help in the regulation of the body’s natural pain management system. The anti-inflammatory properties of PEA allow for a reduction of central and peripheral sensitization mediated by neuronal and nonneuronal cells[2].
