- What is micronized PEA?
- PEA is palmitoylethanolamide, a fatty acid amide the body makes itself. Micronizing grinds it into much finer particles, which raises how much is absorbed compared with standard PEA powder.
- How is this different from plain PEA capsules?
- The PEA here is micronized for better absorption, and it adds R-alpha lipoic acid. Plain PEA products usually contain only PEA, often at a higher dose per capsule.
- Why R-alpha lipoic acid instead of regular alpha lipoic acid?
- R-alpha lipoic acid is the form the body naturally uses. Most alpha lipoic acid supplements are a 50/50 mix of the R and S forms, and the S form is not used the same way.
- How long until I notice anything?
- PEA is usually taken daily for several weeks before people report a difference. It is not a fast-acting product, so judge it after consistent use, not a single dose.
- Can I take it with other supplements?
- PEA and R-alpha lipoic acid are generally well tolerated, but alpha lipoic acid can lower blood sugar. Check with a doctor if you take diabetes medication or blood thinners.
- What is in the bottle?
- Capsules of micronized PEA plus R-alpha lipoic acid. Check the label for the exact milligrams of each, since combo products vary widely.
