PEA operates through multiple pathways and mechanisms within the body to provide its beneficial effects:
Directly
PEA reduces inflammation locally by binding on to PPAR-a receptors and inhibiting secretion of pro-inflammatory signalling molecules. PEA enhances the levels and actions of other compounds that are anti-inflammatory and provide pain relief. This mechanism is known as the 'entourage effect'.
Indirectly
PEA can enhance the levels and actions of another endocannabinoid, anandamide, which is often dubbed as the 'bliss' molecule.
