NCT ID NCT06840080
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study tested whether a single dose of oleoylethanolamide (OEA), a natural fat-like molecule, can change certain metabolic signals in the body. Forty healthy adults aged 30 and older with a BMI between 25 and 35 took either a placebo or OEA with LipiSperse (a formulation to improve absorption). Researchers measured changes in blood markers related to appetite and blood sugar control over a short period.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
oleoylethanolamide (OEA) with LipiSperse
What this could lead to
If results show OEA affects metabolic pathways, it could point toward a supplement that helps manage appetite or blood sugar.
What could go wrong
This was a small, short-term study in healthy volunteers, so findings may not apply to people with metabolic conditions. The effects were measured after a single dose, not long-term use.
