HelloPharmacist Scorecard of PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide) by Lake Avenue Nutrition
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), a compound that your body produces naturally. The capsule also holds inactive ingredients — modified cellulose, modified vegetable starch, rice, rice extract, gum arabic, sunflower oil, and silicon dioxide — which are fillers and binders that help form and stabilize the capsule.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
PEA has possibly effective evidence for osteoarthritis. For spinal cord injury, it's rated possibly ineffective.
For allergic rhinitis (hay fever), autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), we don't have enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it works or doesn't.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
PEA is generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effect reported from taking it by mouth is nausea; drowsiness and a floating sensation have each been reported in single patients, and mild, temporary stomach symptoms may occur rarely.
There isn't enough safety information to use PEA during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — the data advises against it in both cases. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this supplement.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for palmitoylethanolamide. Even so, run your exact medications through the search tool on this page before you start, and confirm with your own doctor or pharmacist that it won't interfere with anything you take.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
PEA may be worth considering if you have osteoarthritis and want to explore supplement options supported by possibly effective evidence. Long-term safety data are limited, so this isn't a decades-tested supplement — and nausea is the main side effect to watch for.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it fits your situation and how it might work with anything else you're taking.
