PEA pills

Hi,

After my Ataxia diagnose I started taking PEA pills (3 pills a day).

PEA is a natural substance that strengthens our body’s ability to recover, reduces pain and inhibits inflammation that gets out of hand. N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)hexadecanamide or Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), the difficult names for this endogenous substance.

=> My opinion: I see no dofference but it cannot do harm I’m thinking

Except your wallet LOL

:slightly_smiling_face: I’m sure many of us ‘tinker’ with supplements hoping they will improve something. I’ve tried a few things half heartedly myself…but never for any length of time.

I post this in case anybody was considering taking PEA…

It’s always advisable to check supplement info…in case of possible interaction with current prescribed medication etc…

When taken by mouth : PEA is possibly safe when used for up to 3 months. It’s usually well tolerated but might cause nausea in some people. There isn’t enough reliable information to know if PEA is safe to use for longer than 3 months.

When applied to the skin : PEA is possibly safe when used for up to 28 days.
