Research Excerpts

Overview

Nervonic acid (NA) is a monounsaturated very long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) and has been identified with critical biological functions in medical and health care for brain development and injury repair. It is found in the seed oils of Lunaria annua, borage, hemp, Acer and Tropaeolum speciosum (Flame flower)
