Palmitoylethanolamide - A Guide To It's Pain Management Benefits and Beyond
Often abbreviated as PEA, Palmitoylethanolamide is a natural substance found in the body that may support pain management. Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) was discovered in 1957 and it was referred to as N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-palmitamide at the time. Let's take a closer look at this intriguing natural molecule...

There is a patent of PEA called Levagen+ that claims to be 1.8x more bioavailable! It uses 90% PEA with something called "lipisperse technology" , it's a registered trademark of Gencor Pacific , the same "technology" they use to create what they claim for it to be one of the most bioavailable Curcumin extracts with high Curcumin loading and completely water dispersible.
MYASD what do you think about that, are all these nothing but mumbo jumbo, or is there something to this "lipisperse" ?

Ehh, just take more normal PEA than you would instead and save the money. Levagen+ are sold as 300mg, and are only 90% PEA. So you are looking at 270mg PEA. Ours are 400mg of PEA. That's 1.48X already. I only look for enhanced bioavailability strategies when the regular thing is not very bioavailable (PEA is), and where the % increase makes sense. If they got it to like 4X, then maybe I would start looking at it. Up to 1.8X is just not worth it, IMO.
