Just started taking Palmitoylethanolamide and have had some wonderful effects. Sleeping is easier and i feel more comfortable trying to fall asleep. Thank you guys so much for carrying this.
Should Palmitoylethanolamide be cycled? Is there "tolerance" or anything like that to worry about? or is it like taking vitamin D where maintenance is benefiical?
Hoping /u/MisterYouAreSoDumb or anyone from ND can chime in!

I know that I just meant, for example, you use primavie shiljat or any of the patented ashwagandas you sell. I should have worded better i guess. There are patented versions of PEA like optiPEA and PEApure, I was just curious if you used one of those types in your formulation or if you had just sources elsewhere and did your own thing. And the latter part i just meant is it from eggs, peanuts, etc.
In any case I bought some and it works better than anything I've tried for my nerve pain from herniated discs in my back and neck. I'm just still a little weary of long term use effects, like what it may do to the endocannabinoid system, since there's not much data on long term use.

The branded PEAs are all the same. There's nothing better about them, which is why we only sell our own micronized version. Some of them have tried to get us to sell their versions, but they are way overpriced for literally no benefit. Our PEA is micronized and as pure as it gets. There's nothing to worry about with long-term use. Your body makes it naturally. It's just we make less of it as we age, and some people with certain disorders make less of it naturally.
