Oleoylethanolamine (OEA)

I absolutely love the Oleamide from ND which led me down the rabbit hole of similar compounds. OEA as a potent PPAR-a seems like an awesome candidate. I’ve read it has performance enhancing properties, is anti-obesogenic, and possesses atypical stimulant properties. Would like to see more natural compounds like this offered.

It was my understanding that PEA and OEA had rather similar mechanisms of action, especially in their PPAR-a activity. I think of them similar to how I think of grape seed extract and pine bark extract, that is, functionally the same, but with a few unique twists. Is there anything about OEA that sets it really apart from PEA that makes it worth looking into?

Very similar, but not exactly the same. It's worth beta testing to see if we can feel the differences. OEA is more expensive, though. So I want to make sure it is justified before jumping down that rabbit hole.
