Daily supplementation with 300 mg of Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) combined with 8 weeks of resistance training significantly improves lower-body dynamic power (jump height) compared to placebo.
If you want to improve your explosive power (like jumping), adding 300mg of PEA daily to your training routine might help. The study showed a significant improvement in jump height compared to a placebo, suggesting it may support power development alongside strength training.
There was a significantly higher jump height (CMJ) at week 10 in the PEA group compared to the PLA (Adjusted mean difference [95% CI] p-value; ITT: − 2.94 cm [− 5.15, − 0.74] p = 0.010; PP: − 2.93 cm [− 5.31, − 0.55] p = 0.017).
Why this rating
Double-blind RCT with significant p-values for this specific metric.
