PEA for Healthy Mast Cell Activity
PEA is a unique fatty acid that naturally promotes healthy nerve and brain function. It supports restful sleep and has a calming effect for mood, stress, and minor pain. It also helps your body recover from exercise and daily activities. Another highly important effect of PEA relates to its functional impact on mast cells.

Mast cells are located within the brain, microglial cells, spinal cord and peripheral nerves, and throughout your internal organs and skin. Mast cells contain neuro-immune compounds like histamine, prostaglandin D(2), TNF-alpha and cytokines which are released in response to a challenge.

Mast cell activation stresses your nerves and immune system. It can also affect your mood, sleep, heart rate, temperature tolerance, skin, eyes, gut motility, bloating, lungs, and more. PEA is shown to support healthy mast cell activity.
