Levagen PEA may modulate microbiome activity and metabolic pathways

Twelve weeks of supplementation with PEA was associated with improved concentrations of IL-2, indicating reduced intestinal inflammation compared to the placebo. Triglyceride levels also decreased, according to the findings published in Biomedicines.

“While the overall composition of gut microbiota remained stable, specific functional changes were observed in the PEA group, suggesting a potential modulation of metabolic pathways,” wrote scientists from Central Queensland University, The University of Queensland and RDC Clinical.

“To our knowledge, this study is the first to investigate the specific microbiome functional changes following PEA…
