Pro Palmitoylethanolamide PEA (90 VCaps)
- Scientifically shown to help reduce chronic pain and inflammation
- A naturally occurring long-chain fatty acid amide generally produced in response to various triggers including inflammation
- Provides a multi-pronged approach to activating and sustaining the endocannabinoid system
- Studied for 80 years and by more than 300 medical studies
Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is a long-chain fatty acid naturally produced by the body but also found in foods such as egg yolk, soy and sunflower oils. This molecule, researched for its unique and wide range of health benefits for eighty years, is now receiving attention because of its crucial role in the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is a communication network that maintains cellular homeostasis especially when tissues are damaged, inflamed or injured. PEA is an endocannabinoid produced locally by the cells, following any injury, physical stress or pain.
By inhibiting the activation of mast cells that cause additional inflammation (such as the release of histamine), PEA acts as a potent anti-inflammatory agent. This unique molecule has other direct and indirect mechanisms of action; it enhances the action of other endocannabinoids through its “entourage effect” and the action on numerous novel cellular receptors including PPAR.
It has been clinically demonstrated that the PEA molecule has the capacity to relieve pain in osteoarthritis of the knee as well as to reduce symptoms of low back pain, and is well tolerated for athletes, children and seniors.

Herbs are powerful. They’ve been used for centuries to nourish, support, and restore the body—but just like any tool for wellness, they should be approached with knowledge, respect, and intention. Before using any herb that’s new to you, we highly encourage you to do your research, ask questions, and—most importantly—consult a certified healthcare practitioner, whether that’s a clinical herbalist, naturopath, or your trusted family doctor. Everyone’s body is different, and what works incredibly for one person may not be the right fit for another.
While we’re passionate about sharing the wisdom of herbal medicine, not all the information on our website has been reviewed by Health Canada or the FDA—which means it’s up to you to take an active role in your health. Learn, explore, and empower yourself. Herbal medicine is about cultivating a relationship with plants, understanding their effects, and using them with reverence, respect, and intention.
Your health is your own, and it is up to you to ensure that you are using plant medicine safely, effectively and knowledgeably. We’re here to support you as you step into that power by supplying high-quality, handcrafted and sustainably sourced herbs and plants.
