Levagen® is high quality Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA). PEA is an endogenous endocannabinoid receptor agonist, a simple fatty acide amide, and originally a food component, commonly isolated from soybeans, peanuts, and egg yolks. PEA is also known to be naturally occurring in mammal tissues. It is produced as a biological response and repair mechanism, potentiating its actions at cannabinoid CB1, CB2 and GPR55 receptors, and TRPV1 channels1. PEA is used for joint pain and sports inflammation. PEA can also contribute to relaxation and restfulness leading to a good quality of sleep.

Science Inside

A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study was conducted to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) (Levagen®) for the management of mild to moderate osteoarthritis symptoms. The study was a 120 patient study with 40 patients on placebo, 40 patients on Levagen® 300 mg a day and 40 patients on Levagen 600 mg a day. 111 patients completed the study: 35 on Levagen 600 mg, 36 on Levagen® 300 mg and 40 on placebo. The 300 mg dose was dosed 150 mg in the morning and 150 mg in the evening. The 600 mg was dosed 300 mg in the morning and 300 mg in the evening. The placebo was dosed once in the morning and once in the evening. Both the 600 mg and the 300 mg doses were found to be statistically significant compared to the placebo on the:

  •  total WOMAC score
  •  pain subdomain
  • stiffness subdomain
  • function subdomain
