Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) / Palmidrol


Product Overview & Molecular Structure


Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), chemically known as Palmidrol, is an endogenous fatty acid amide belonging to the N-acylethanolamine class. Produced naturally within cell membranes to combat cellular stress and inflammation, Palmidrol serves as a powerful non-opioid analgesic and neuroprotectant.

At Zeni Biotech, we manufacture and purify Palmitoylethanolamide API at our state-of-the-art facility in GIDC Ankleshwar. We utilize green chemistry pathways to deliver a highly stable  and exceptionally pure crystalline solid that complies with the most rigorous international standards.
