This Study (Click Here for full text) in mice from the National Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) in Washington DC – showed that the combination of the two products produced a synergetic effect greater than low doses of either.

In pharmacokinetic tests (which describe the distribution, absorption, breakdown and excretion of compounds) – showed that the use of the two substances prolonged the possible beneficial effects of both PEA and HOE/CBD for the treatment of acute and chronic pain.

PEA plus HOE (CBD) for pain and inflammation study

In Australia, you need to see your doctor for access to most CBD products.  This may change in the future, particularly with low-THC versions.

PEA, which is a fatty acid found in most mammalian cells and in a variety of different foods including human breast milk and lecithin has been studied for many decades.  You can find many studies that show that PEA can assist with pain and inflammation, and has a very good safety profile.  (And PEA is NOT psycho-active or addictive.)

PEA is available (without a prescription) here.  It is available in PEA Capsules (gelatin and vegetable) and PEA skin cream in two different strengths.  PEA is also an prized ingredient in high-end anti-aging skin care products.

Be sure to check with your health care professional if you have any questions about any aspect of the use of PEA.
