85% OEA Oleoylethanolamide Powder Factory
What Is Oleoylethanolamide (OEA)?
Oleoylethanolamide (OEA) is a naturally occurring endogenous fatty acid ethanolamide and a member of the fatty acid amide lipid family. Structurally, it consists of a lipophilic oleic acid chain linked to a hydrophilic ethanolamine group via an amide bond, giving it unique amphiphilic properties.
OEA is widely found in the human body as well as in natural sources such as cocoa powder, soybeans, and nuts. Identified in 1995, it is now recognized as a key lipid signaling molecule within the gut–brain axis, with significant potential in regulating appetite, energy metabolism, and neuroprotection.

YTBIO’s 85% Oleoylethanolamide (OEA) is produced using advanced synthesis and purification technologies to ensure excellent stability and high biological activity, making it an ideal core ingredient for functional food development and dietary supplement formulations.
Functions and Benefits
1. Supports Weight Management
OEA is a natural satiety signaling molecule secreted by the intestine. After food intake, intestinal cells convert dietary oleic acid into OEA, which activates specific receptors on vagal nerve endings in the gut, rapidly transmitting satiety signals to the brain and effectively reducing food intake.
In addition, OEA activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-α), promoting triglyceride hydrolysis in adipose tissue and accelerating fatty acid β-oxidation in peripheral tissues such as the liver. This process enhances fat burning and reduces lipid accumulation, scientifically supporting weight management.

2. Cardiovascular Health
By activating the PPAR-α pathway, OEA significantly improves lipid metabolism disorders. It helps reduce serum triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) levels, inhibits abnormal proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells, and reduces hepatic steatosis.
Moreover, OEA suppresses the release of endothelin-1 (a vasoconstrictor) while promoting nitric oxide (NO) production, leading to vasodilation and improved endothelial function. These mechanisms suggest potential anti-atherosclerotic properties.
3. Neuroprotection
Emerging research indicates that OEA has promising neuroprotective potential. It activates the PPAR-α–TFEB signaling pathway, enhancing microglial phagocytosis and clearance of β-amyloid (Aβ). This mechanism provides important research value for interventions in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.

4. Other Potential Benefits
OEA also demonstrates anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It can inhibit the release of inflammatory cytokines and reduce oxidative stress responses. In certain neuropathic pain models, OEA has shown potential in alleviating pain symptoms.
Application Areas
Dietary Supplements & Functional Foods
Oleoylethanolamide is commonly used in the development of weight management products, satiety-enhancing formulas, and fat metabolism support supplements.

Pharmaceutical Research
OEA is widely studied in the fields of energy metabolism, appetite regulation mechanisms, neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer's disease), and lipid signaling pathways.
Feed Additives
Oleoylethanolamide can be used to regulate animal appetite, improve lipid metabolism, and enhance feed efficiency.
High-End Cosmetic Ingredients
Based on its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, Oleoylethanolamide can be incorporated into skincare formulations designed for soothing and repairing functions.
