PEA in Horses: A Look at the Early Research

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is a fatty acid compound that horses make naturally. Published research on PEA in horses is at an early stage. The main paper is a 2020 report in the journal Animals (Gugliandolo and colleagues). It followed four horses and had no control group. A report that small is a starting point for more research. It does not show what will happen for any one horse.

PEA is an FEI Controlled Medication. WWN PEA is not for horses that compete.

WWN PEA is a daily nutritional supplement. If your horse is lame or unwell, see your vet first. See our PEA for Horses guide for feeding information.
