Is Codeage Liposomal PEA Made From Peas?Updated 2 hours ago
No pea ingredient appears on the Codeage Liposomal PEA label. “PEA” is the abbreviation for palmitoylethanolamide, the name of the compound, and it has no connection to the pea plant. The Supplement Facts panel lists one active ingredient: Palmitoylethanolamide; Ultra Micronized (PEA).
What does PEA stand for?
PEA stands for palmitoylethanolamide. The name describes the compound’s chemical parts: “palmitoyl” refers to palmitic acid, a common fatty acid, and “ethanolamide” refers to ethanolamine, a small nitrogen-containing molecule. Joined together, they form a type of molecule called a fatty acid amide. Our article What Is a Fatty Acid Amide? explains these terms in more detail.
Why do people ask if PEA comes from peas?
The same three letters are used for other things. “Pea” is also the everyday word for the plant Pisum sativum and for ingredients made from it, such as pea protein. In Codeage Liposomal PEA, the letters are simply shorthand for the longer chemical name, which is why the product is labeled “Palmitoylethanolamide” on the box and the Supplement Facts panel.
Is Codeage Liposomal PEA a pea protein supplement?
No. Pea protein is a different ingredient. Codeage Liposomal PEA does not list pea protein or any pea-derived ingredient on its label.
What if I have a pea allergy or sensitivity?
The full ingredient list on the bottle and the product page is the reference for what the formula contains. The label also advises: “Please use caution if you have allergies or sensitivities to any of the listed ingredients.” Anyone with a specific allergy is encouraged to review the full list and speak with a qualified healthcare professional before use.
