Defy Age, Feel Your Best: Unlocking the Power of PEA for a Vibrant Life

Let’s face it: aging is inevitable, but feeling old is optional. We’re bombarded with messages promising a “fountain of youth,” but true age-defiance goes far beyond erasing wrinkles. It’s about feeling energized, engaged, and empowered to live life to the fullest at every stage.

At Wise Choice Medicine, we believe true well-being starts from within. That’s why we’re excited to share the remarkable potential of PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide), a naturally-occurring compound that’s transforming how people experience aging.

PEA is an Essential Fatty Acid found in all tissues including the brain. Known for its ability to counteract the inflammatory cascade, PEA is a natural solution for the multifaceted challenges associated with aging, offering support for chronic pain, inflammatory conditions, cognitive function, heart health and vision support.*

Move with Freedom, Live with Zest: PEA for Everyday Comfort

Remember the days when you could jump out of bed without a second thought, effortlessly bend down to tie your shoes, or go for a hike without worrying about your knees? Age-related aches, stiffness, and chronic pain are incredibly common, but they don’t have to dictate your life.

PEA offers a profound new approach to pain management, going beyond simply masking symptoms to address the root cause: inflammation.

• A Natural Anti-Inflammatory Powerhouse: Unlike over-the-counter pain relievers that only provide temporary relief, PEA works at the cellular level to reduce the production of pro-inflammatory compounds that cause pain, swelling, and stiffness. By calming the body’s inflammatory response, PEA helps break the cycle of discomfort.
• Multifaceted Relief, No Harsh Side Effects:
  • Muscle and Joint Pain: Whether you experience occasional stiffness or live with chronic conditions like osteoarthritis, PEA can help alleviate pain and improve mobility, allowing you to get back to the activities you love.
  • Nerve Pain: PEA shows promise in addressing neuropathic pain, a complex and often debilitating condition that affects the nerves.
  • Headache Relief: Research suggests PEA may help reduce the frequency and severity of headaches, particularly those related to inflammation or nerve irritation.

PEA for Pain and Inflammation: The Scientific Evidence:

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) studies show significant results in relieving musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain. This natural alternative to NSAID’s and CBD also exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, reducing the production of free radicals and inflammatory cytokines to help manage conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease and neuroinflammatory disorders.

• PEA has been shown to improve pain in preclinical and clinical contexts, particularly in the treatment of chronic pain, including musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain.
• PEA, when combined with acetyl-L-carnitine, has shown potential in improving outcomes for fibromyalgia patients. The combination treatment demonstrated an adjunctive significant improvement in pain and disease severity compared to standard treatment alone.
• PEA has been effective in relieving neuropathic pain, as demonstrated in a case study of post-herpetic neuralgia. It has been suggested as a natural alternative to pharmacological pain relief
• A comprehensive review published in the journal “CNS & Neurological Disorders – Drug Targets” highlighted PEA’s significant potential for managing a wide range of pain conditions, noting its excellent safety profile and lack of serious side effects.
• A study in the “Journal of Pain Research” found that PEA provided significant pain relief and improved joint function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, comparable to the effects of a commonly prescribed NSAID.
• Research published in the “European Journal of Pharmacology” demonstrated PEA’s effectiveness in alleviating neuropathic pain in animal models, paving the way for further human studies.

Boost Your Brainpower: PEA for Cognitive Vitality

Experiencing occasional forgetfulness? Finding it harder to concentrate or remember details? While some cognitive decline is a natural part of aging, there are ways to support your brain health and maintain mental sharpness.

PEA emerges as a powerful neuroprotective agent, meaning it may help safeguard brain cells from damage, promote healthy brain function, and potentially even slow cognitive decline:

• Shielding Brain Cells from Damage: Research in the journal “CNS & Neurological Disorders – Drug Targets” highlighted PEA’s potential in protecting against age-related cognitive decline by reducing inflammation and acting as a potent antioxidant, neutralizing harmful free radicals that can damage brain cells and contribute to age-related cognitive decline.
• Enhancing Brain Cell Communication: Optimal brain function relies on seamless communication between neurons. PEA helps improve this communication, supporting healthy signaling pathways and promoting cognitive clarity, memory recall, and learning.
• Potential Hope for Neurodegenerative Diseases: PEA has demonstrated potential neuroprotective effects in several experimental models of Alzheimer’s disease. A case study reported an improvement in cognitive performances in a patient treated with PEA. Studies suggest PEA may offer benefits for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other neurodegenerative conditions by protecting brain cells and reducing inflammation.
• Improved memory and learning: A study published in “Neuropharmacology” found that PEA improved memory and learning in mice with Alzheimer’s disease, suggesting its potential to slow cognitive decline.

Total Body Wellness: The Far-Reaching Benefits of PEA

PEA’s impressive health benefits don’t stop there. This versatile compound has far-reaching effects, offering support for numerous aspects of overall well-being:

• Cardiovascular Health: PEA exhibits cardioprotective properties, helping to support healthy blood pressure, reduce inflammation in blood vessels, and improve circulation – all vital factors in maintaining long-term heart health. PEA has been shown to protect against vasculotoxicity and cardiotoxicity by promoting an anti-inflammatory phenotype, representing a new therapeutic approach to resolve vasculo-cardio toxicity and inflammation
• Eye Health: Studies suggest PEA may help protect against age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss in older adults, by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in the eyes. PEA has also shown significant efficacy in reducing intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma, suggesting its potential clinical use in glaucoma and other eye disorders. A systematic review and meta-analysis of 9 double blind placebo controlled studies involving over 200 patients demonstrated that PEA provided significant efficacy in reducing IOP*
• Immune Support: PEA helps modulate the immune response, promoting a balanced and effective immune system. This is especially important as we age, as our immune function naturally tends to decline. Research has demonstrated the antiviral potency of PEA against SARS-CoV-2, exerting its activity by two different mechanisms. First, it binds to the SARS-CoV-2 S protein, causing a drop in viral infection. Second, in infected cells, PEA dismantles lipid droplets, preventing the usage of these vesicular bodies by SARS-CoV-2 as a source of energy and protection against innate cellular defenses.
• Mood and Emotional Well-being: Studies suggest PEA may have mood-boosting effects and may help  improve sleep quality. A double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled interventional study found that PEA supplementation reduced sleep onset latency, time to feel completely awake and improved cognition on waking.
