Why You Should Take PEA As A Preventative Neuroprotector
WHAT IS PALMITOYLETHANOLAMIDE (PEA)?
PEA is a natural anti-inflammatory lipid (fatty acid amide) that has no known side effects. In recent studies, it has been determined that PEA has the potential to “protect against neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, thus indicating that the compound possesses exceptional potential as a novel treatment for neurodegenerative disorders”.
WHAT IS A NEUROPROTECTOR?
A neuroprotector is a treatment method that interacts with the nervous system to slow down and potentially halt the degeneration of the nervous system.
Neuroprotectors cannot reverse existing damage, but they can lessen future damage related to neurodegenerative medical conditions such as stroke, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis.
One study looking at stroke patients showed significant improvement in cognitive function, muscle spasticity, patient independence, and mobility after 30 and 60 days of taking PEA.
DOES IT WORK FOR PAIN?
Many studies have been conducted that have shown promising results for the use of PEA as an option for reducing chronic pain and neuropathic pain – pain manifesting from the nervous system. Its anti-inflammatory effects are believed to contribute to improving cognitive function while protecting against cognitive decline.
It is possible that PEA could lessen the effects of natural cognitive decline related to disease and aging. There is still much to be tested and proven but the initial results from preclinical models and early studies look promising.
