Oleamide is a fat-based molecule the body makes, best known as one of the brain's own sleep signals. Animal studies reliably show sleep promotion plus hints of calmer mood, brain protection, and memory support, but only one small human trial exists and long-term safety is unknown. Inexpensive and available; promise remains early and uncertain. (Full Review)
| Marker | Target | Why |
|---|---|---|
| ALT / AST | ALT ~10–26 U/L; AST ~10–26 U/L | Screen liver health given oleamide's modulation of liver enzymes in animals |
| Blood pressure | ~110–125 / 70–80 mmHg | Context for oleamide's vasodilator/blood-pressure-lowering signal |
| Fasting glucose / HbA1c | Glucose ~75–85 mg/dL; HbA1c <5.4% | Optional metabolic context given rodent metabolic effects |
| hs-CRP | <1.0 mg/L | Optional check given oleamide's conflicting immune effects |
Cadence: Subjective review at 4 weeks and again at 8–12 weeks; safety labs only every 6–12 months or if a specific concern arises
