Food Grade Natural Nervonic Acid Powder
Description
Nervonic acid (NA) is a very-long-chain monounsaturated fatty acid with a 24-carbon backbone and the sole double bond originating from the 9th carbon from the methyl end, with this bond in the cis- configuration. What plays crucial roles in brain development.
Sources of Nervonic acid (NA) include oil crop seeds, oil- producing microalgae, and other microorganisms.

Function
- Neuroprotection: Nervonic Acid is a structural fatty acid in the nervous system that helps maintain the structural integrity of nerve cells and protect the normal function of the nervous system.
- Anti-inflammatory effect: Research shows that Nervonic Acid may have anti-inflammatory properties and have a certain protective effect against diseases related to inflammation of the nervous system.
- Brain Health: Nervonic Acid is thought to be beneficial for brain and nervous system function. It may help maintain normal function of nerve cells, supporting cognitive health and mood stability.
- Nutritional supplements: Some studies suggest that Nervonic Acid can be used as a nutritional supplement to help meet the body's needs for fatty acids, especially for people with certain medical conditions.
