Derived from Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), a natural fatty acid amide produced by the body in response to stress and injury, this powerhouse compound is also found in select foods and plants such as egg yolk, peanuts, and soybeans.
PEA's influence on the endocannabinoid system makes it a safe and scientifically validated alternative to CBD.
Here are some key points about Levagen®+:
-
Origin: Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) was first identified in the 1950s as a naturally occurring fatty acid amide. Levagen®+ is a proprietary form of PEA developed by Gencor.
-
Mechanism of Action: PEA has been studied for its ability to modulate the activity of certain receptors in the body, such as the cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2, as well as the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-α). Through these mechanisms, PEA may exert anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
-
Health Benefits: Levagen®+ has been researched for its potential to alleviate pain and inflammation associated with various conditions, including chronic pain, neuropathic pain, and inflammatory disorders. It may also have neuroprotective effects.(Steels et al. 2019)
-
Research: There is a growing body of scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of PEA, including studies demonstrating its effectiveness in reducing pain and inflammation in both preclinical and clinical settings. However, more research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms of action and potential therapeutic applications. (Read more about the research Here)
-
Safety: PEA is generally considered safe and well-tolerated, with minimal side effects reported in clinical studies. It is also non-addictive and does not produce psychoactive effects.
-
Applications: Levagen®+ may be used as part of a comprehensive approach to managing pain and inflammation, but individuals should consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.
