Naturally occurring

PEA — palmitoylethanolamide — is a molecule your body makes naturally, especially in response to stress or injury. It's been studied since the 1950s for its role in supporting healthy inflammatory balance.

Why it's in Novilora

Novilora combines PEA with a defined profile of specific fatty acids. The pairing has biological relevance to structural and signaling pathways involved in nerve health; this rationale does not establish clinical efficacy.
