HelloPharmacist Scorecard of PEA with PQQ 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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

PEA with PQQ contains two active ingredients. Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is a fatty acid compound, and pyrroloquinoline quinone disodium salt (PQQ) is a coenzyme-like nutrient.

The remaining ingredients are inactive — fillers, binders, and capsule materials including modified cellulose, modified starch, rice husk, rice extract, gum Arabic, sunflower oil, and silicon dioxide.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Mitochondrial function and joint comfort.
  • We looked for evidence on: Osteoarthritis, Sciatica, Neuropathic pain, Complex regional pain syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) — and 2 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Palmitoylethanolamide (pea) is rated "Possibly Effective" for Osteoarthritis (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Palmitoylethanolamide (pea) is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Fibromyalgia, Neuropathic pain, Chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS), Complex regional pain syndrome, and more.

Palmitoylethanolamide shows possibly effective evidence for osteoarthritis. For spinal cord injury, the evidence rates it as possibly ineffective.

For cannabis use disorder, autism spectrum disorder, carpal tunnel syndrome, and migraine headache, the evidence is too limited to rate. We hold no effectiveness data for pyrroloquinoline quinone disodium salt.

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Palmitoylethanolamide is generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effect reported orally is nausea, which appears rarely and is mild and temporary.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding due to insufficient information. We hold no safety data for pyrroloquinoline quinone disodium salt.
