Hi
Natures Best in the UK are marketing Palmitoylethanolamide as a new product in their range. I am interested as they mention neurological benefits in the write up. I have Googled it and there are positive pieces of research for Parkinson’s. Does anyone know any more about this? Thanks

what a well research and written piece. Reading that I do think it is worth introducing but must make sure that it is in the best form.
I’ve been using NORMAST 600mg for 3months. Helps I think with tremors and neuropathy. It’s the ultra micronised or “um” version.

Not cheap but worth it imho.

A roundup of the latest research at:
search PEA in the PD forum. There are lots of posts on it.
it’s anti-inflammatory. Did nothing for me!
My husband has been taking PEA (starting with 600 mg of the ultramicronized powder twice a day in applesauce) for about four months and he thinks it is helpful. Bolt introduced it on this forum and he has several very good posts about it. We have since found the capsules containing both PEA and luteolin, which may act synergistically. Best of luck!
Do you have a link to that product at all? Thanks
Hi G&G- here is a link to the tablets:

and here is a link to the powder:

My husband takes 600 gm twice a day as was done in the study.
I hope it’s helpful if you decide to try it.
is your husband still taking the capsules? Still making a difference?
Hi Turnip- he is still taking both the capsules and the powder. He recently had a knee replacement, which seems to have aggravated his Parkinson’s symptoms (especially the joint/bone pain, stiffness, and tremor). We’re hoping that this is a temporary setback.
why does he take both ? I was thinking if my hwp took capsules we would stop using powder. Thank you so much!
It seems like anything that happens to the body makes Parkinson’s temporarily worse. I wish him a speedy return to where he was !
The powder is definitely ultramicronized- I’m not sure the capsules are and I think the studies are with ultramicronized PEA. I really need to look into that further. He takes the powder with mannitol and Ceylon cinnamon so I just kept the powder going with those two other things. I hope your husband feels better soon.
Thanks everyone for your replies.
. Any buying recommendations for the tablets ? Do you think they are the right format for good absorption in the body?
I am right in thinking the Natures Best is not the um version? Interested to know more

What is best for inflammation? I have inflammation throughout my body.
Natures best supplement has B vitamins added,and their advisers say taking more than 400mgs will give you too much B vitamins to be safe.The makers of the PEA that Natures Best are using say that you should start with 1200mg per day for 3 months,down to 600mgs per day afterwards.So Natures Best are not a good choice for PD.Tiny Pioneer( UK website) stock PEA from same manufacturer,pure 100% ,300 mgs,120 tablets.Barbara
