Introducing Palmidol® PEA: A New Step Forward in Comfort for Companion Animals

UK, October 2024 – Samaxia Ltd proudly announces the launch of Palmidol® PEA, a groundbreaking feed supplement designed to support the daily comfort and well-being of companion animals. In light of research indicating that a significant number of cats and dogs may face challenges in comfort (Muir, 20041), Palmidol® PEA has been meticulously developed by MP Labo to enhance the quality of life for these beloved family members.

Understanding the Underlying Science: The Endocannabinoid System (ECS)

The endocannabinoid system, discovered over three decades ago, is pivotal in maintaining numerous physiological functions. Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), a synthesized version being the key ingredient in Palmidol® PEA, is a fatty acid naturally produced by the body from membrane phospholipids in response to stress. Structurally akin to endocannabinoids, PEA is known for its unique ability to influence several receptors that are crucial for maintaining balance across various bodily systems. These receptors include peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors and capsaicin receptors, vital for managing responses such as pain and inflammation.

A Closer Look at PEA's Multifaceted Role:

Skin Health: PEA helps regulate the release of pro-inflammatory mediators, supporting skin comfort and integrity.
Musculoskeletal Support: It contributes to the maintenance of cartilage and normalises inflammatory mediators within the musculoskeletal system.
Digestive System: By enhancing the intestinal barrier and modulating inflammation, PEA supports digestive health.
Urinary Tract: Its effects can be beneficial in managing discomfort associated with urinary conditions.
Nervous System: PEA supports neuronal health, reducing hyperexcitability and influencing microglial activation.

Product Information:

Palmidol® PEA is presented in a micronized form (100 mg per capsule) to ensure optimal absorption and efficacy, supplemented with dried algae known for its antioxidant properties. Recommended administration starts at one capsule per 10 kilograms for dogs and one capsule for cats up to 6.5 kilograms, with adjustments possible after  initiation.

Availability:

This supplement is available in two formats:

  • A box of 30 capsules.
