Side-by-side comparison of mechanisms, dosing, interactions, and stacking potential.

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA)Wobenzym (Systemic Enzyme Complex)
CategorySupplementsSupplements
Standard Dose
Timing
Cycle Duration
Evidence LevelStrongModerate

Mechanism

Endocannabinoid-like lipid that activates PPAR-alpha and indirectly enhances endocannabinoid tone. Potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic without acting directly on CB1/CB2. Reduces mast cell activation, neuroinflammation, and chronic pain.

Contraindications

  • None established at standard doses

Mechanism

Combination of bromelain, papain, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and pancreatin. Systemic enzyme therapy that degrades circulating immune complexes, reduces fibrin deposition, modulates cytokines (IL-6, TNF-alpha), and supports recovery from injury, surgery, and chronic inflammation.

Contraindications

  • Bleeding disorders
  • Pre-surgery
  • Severe liver or kidney disease
