Evaluating the effects of oleoylethanolamide on metabolism in healthy adults

Short-term Effect of Oleoylethanolamide (OEA) and LipiSperse Supplementation on Metabolic Pathways in Otherwise Healthy Participants - a Single Blind, Cross-over Study

Phase 4 Interventional RDC Clinical Pty Ltd · NCT06840080

This study is testing if a supplement called oleoylethanolamide can improve metabolism in healthy adults aged 30 and older when taken with another product called LipiSperse.

What this trial studies

This interventional study investigates the metabolic effects of oleoylethanolamide (OEA) combined with LipiSperse in healthy volunteers. Participants aged 30 and older will undergo a placebo-controlled, single-blind, cross-over design, where they will receive different doses of OEA alongside LipiSperse over an 8-hour period. Each participant will complete all three arms of the study, allowing for direct comparison of the metabolic responses to the treatments. The study aims to provide insights into how OEA supplementation may influence metabolic pathways.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are generally healthy adults aged 30 years and older with a BMI between 25.0 and 34.9 kg/m2.

Not a fit: Patients with serious illnesses, metabolic disorders, or unstable health conditions may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of metabolic regulation and potentially lead to new dietary supplements for weight management.

How similar studies have performed: While there is limited data on the specific combination of OEA and LipiSperse, similar metabolic studies have shown promising results with OEA supplementation.
