I didn't even know about PEA for fibro and chronic pain until a bit over a month ago. But I read about it in various articles on the National Library of Medicine's online database of medical and scientific journals.PEA is endogenous to the human body - your own cells make it - but it is also found in foods like eggs and soybeans. It works on the endocannabinoid receptors in the body, to decrease inflammation and pain. That's what I read, anyway.I decided to try it, and I'm SO glad I did: I can exercise now. By taking this (and another form of PEA, with luteolin) three times a day, instead of being wiped out and "paying for it" (the exercise) with increased pain, fatigue, and that "leaden" fibro feeling (where u feel like you're wearing one of those lead aprons they put on you when they x-ray your teeth) for days afterwards. That's what used to happen to me if I exercises.Now, taking the PEA and exercising, I just the normal level of soreness from exercising muscles not used often enough. I don't get slammed with days of fatigue. That itself is a miracle for me.This has also helped a lot with my mood too. But what's really great is, I can do stuff now! You know how you learn to lower your expectations of yourself, when you have fibro, to the bare minimum, because you're never sure you'll be able to do more than the minimum? This PEA has changed that.I can wake up early to do stuff now. Instead of accomplishing only 1, mmmmaybe 2 things on my seemingly endless "To Do" list, I have the energy to accomplish 1/3, even 1/2 of the items. It's pretty amazing.I'm sleeping better too.I can't say it will work for everyone - we are all different - but taking this stuff has massively improved my pain levels, fatigue, brain fog, quality of life, and sense of well being over the past month. And it started working the very next morning after I took the very first dose.I'm really hoping PEA continues to do all that for me as long as I take it. Feeling way better than I have in the past 20 years, alone, is miraculous.

It is good. It does tend the lower my blood thinning a little too much. My last two blood tests come back as low, slow to clot. It does help my arthritic and tingling/burning fingers.

I've been dealing with vulvodynia for 2 long years. My primary symptoms have been burning, stinging, and itching. I had tried amitriptyline with great results for pain relief, but the side effects were terrible. I bought this out of desperation, not having much hope that it would actually work. However, after about the third week, I noticed a major improvement in the severity of my symptoms. Knock on wood, but I feel about 80% better than I did 2 years ago when this ordeal began.I do take more than the recommended dose. I take 2 capsules in the am and 2 capsules before bed. No side effects at all.Ladies, I'm not a paid reviewer. I'm just someone who's spent way too much time being depressed and feeling miserable over this dreaded condition. I can't even tell you how much money I've thrown at various doctors, tests, copays, etc. It's exhausting.This supplement has definitely given me my quality of life back. I'm only writing this in the hope that I can help even one other woman recover.

I tried this brand after already trying a generic brand that I wasn't sure was high quality. Having good pain relief with that brand, I was hoping to find a higher quality supplement. This brand may be good, but this supplement just didn't do anything for me despite being the same strength. Its a curious thing that happens with supplement sometimes - but it you have had good luck with another brand first, I wouldn't recommend switching to this one.

Excellent

1.0 out of 5 stars Stomach pain and poor customer service

L.h. · February 7, 2025

I STRONGLY recommend against purchasing this product. I purchased this supplement specifically for its purported pain relief and anti-inflammatory properties. It failed in both respects and caused significant stomach upset in the process. I reached out to the company directly to discuss my experience, and they failed to respond to my concerns. Buyer beware.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works for fibro pain

I noticed that when I stopped taking this due to pregnancy, my breakthrough joint & muscle pain went up suddenly postpartum so I started taking it again. It takes a month or 2 to take effect, but once it does, you’ll definitely notice. Stay with it consistently because it has to build up in your system. I usually take it in the morning, but you can take it at night as well. I’ve noticed that when I take it at night I sleep really well. With this product joint & muscle pain is reduced a lot. As far as nerve pain goes, I take LDN to control that, but I’d assume that this would help that too. I’ve purchased this product 3 times now (going on 4). It works!
