Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is a natural compound that has been identified as a potent pain reliever for chronic pain sufferers. Unlike over-the-counter and prescription painkillers, PEA has minimal side effects and does not carry the risk of addiction. Studies have shown that PEA can reduce or even eliminate chronic pain, with participants reporting improved mobility and decreased pain severity. While PEA is found in certain food sources, the doses used in studies require supplementation. A daily dose of 150 to 600 mg of PEA is recommended for pain relief.
