Directions: divide your pet's recommended daily amount and offer evenly with each meal. PEA is lipophilic and is better absorbed with fat. If your pet is eating a very low fat diet, then we recommend administering PEA with foods containing a small amount of oils or healthy fats. MCT oil is usually well tolerated by pets that are sensitive to fats.

For small dogs and cats:

<10 lbs: One scoop twice daily.

11-25 lbs: Two scoops twice daily.

1 scoop =1/32 tsp

For medium to large dogs:

26-55 lbs: 1/4 tsp Daily

56-99 lbs: 1/2 tsp Daily

100+ lbs: 1 tsp Daily

For Equines:

Light Equines:  1 tsp daily

Heavy Equines:  1 - 2 tsp daily

Research has shown PEA to have a strong safety profile. The daily dose can be doubled if needed. Discontinue use if any GI upset is seen or you suspect your pet is not tolerating it well.

The only difference is the size of the jar. The contents are exactly the same. If you have large dogs or multiple pets, the bulk size jar is a better value.

No, it is not micronized. The general independent scientific consensus is still that, because of a lack of a direct 1-to-1 comparison between micronized and non-micronized PEA, there is no reason to assume one form is better than the other. Furthermore, a number of clinical trials were done on non-micronized PEA. We use OptiPEA® which is a premium brand for human grade palmitoylethanolamide worldwide. When it comes to manufacturing palmitoylethanolamide they have adopted and work in accordance with EU GMP standards. They only use high quality raw materials, novel process engineering and highly-sensitive full spectrum chemical analysis for research and quality assurance of our products. The same stringent requirements as used in pharmaceutical manufacturing are implemented in the manufacturing process for OptiPEA®. OptiPEA® is produced in Europe in a state-of-the-art production facility by a team of PhD chemists. It is located in The Netherlands and has received EU GMP certification. OptiPEA® was specifically chosen because of its safety, reliability and quality.

No. It is 100% Palmitoylethanolamide (OptiPEA®). There are no inactive ingredients. We have found this brand of PEA to be virtually tasteless and palatable for even picky eaters. 

It depends on the individual. Some have seen improvements in as little as a few days, others take weeks. PEA has a cumulative effect and needs time to build in the system. We recommend giving at least 4-6 weeks before assuming it isn’t working. The daily dose can also be safely doubled if you haven’t seen improvement after several weeks.

Yes. PEA has no known drug or supplement interactions. PEA is naturally produced in nearly all cells in the body in response to tissue damage or stress, helping to restore cellular balance. We always recommend starting any new product at a lower dose and slowly working up to the recommended dose. Discontinue use if any GI upset is seen or you suspect your pet is not tolerating it well.

RSPO certified palmitic acid from palm oil and ethanolamine. The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification ensures that the palmitic acid used in OptiPEA® is sourced from sustainably managed palm plantations, protecting biodiversity, reducing deforestation, and supporting the rights of local communities.

It is made in the Netherlands in an EU GMP certified facility under the brand OptiPEA® by Innexus Nutraceuticals B.V.

Palmitoylethanolamide has no known drug interactions or side effects, however, discontinue use if any adverse effect is suspected. We have received a few reports of soft stools leading to gastrointestinal upset. Discontinue use if your pet is showing signs of gastrointestinal upset.

No. PEA does not directly block pain signals the way opioids and analgesics do. It is not an NSAID, opioid, or steroid. PEA binds to receptors and supports the normal function of mast and glial cells to help restore homeostasis.

PEA can be used long term. Discontinue use if your pet displays any signs of intolerance to the supplement. PEA takes several weeks to become most effective in the body and can be used as long as it appears to be effective.
