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.

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.
