Palmic Acid Monoethanolamide is another name for palmitoylethanolamide, which is often abbreviated to PEA. PEA is not derived from the similar sounding legume, so don't confuse this with pea protein: PEA is a type of fatty acid that the body produces naturally, but production decreases as we age: PEA is the reason why, when you fall or injure yourself when you're younger, you're able to pick yourself up easier, and your body heals better. PEA has been found in studies to be anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective, and is known as the 'bliss molecule' for the way it soothes and improves the body. LYMA's tenth ingredient Levagen+ is a patented version of PEA.
