Nervonic Acid
Nervonic Acid (cis-15-Tetracosenoic Acid, CAS 506-37-6) is a unique long-chain omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acid, the core component of nerve myelin sheath. We supply multi-spec nervonic acid: low-concentration Acer Truncatum seed oil extract (5%-10%) & high-purity refined powder (70%~98%), two production routes: plant cold-press extraction & microbial fermentation purification.
Unlike DHA & EPA that only support nerve cell membrane, nervonic acid directly repairs damaged myelin fiber, improves memory, relieves brain fatigue, supports infant neurodevelopment & senior cognitive health. Widely applied in nutraceutical softgels, infant formula, functional solid drink, pharmaceutical intermediates & premium anti-aging skincare. Full GMP production, all batches with official COA, global export certifications available.

Core Mechanism: Nervonic Acid vs DHA & EPA
Most brain supplements only add DHA/EPA, which mainly compose the surface membrane of nerve cells, support signal transmission but cannot repair damaged nerve fibers. Nervonic acid is the exclusive building block of myelin sheath that wraps around nerve axons; myelin damage causes memory loss, slow response, brain fog & cognitive decline.
Human body cannot synthesize sufficient nervonic acid independently, must absorb from external nutrition. It naturally exists in high concentration in human colostrum, essential for infant brain white matter development. For aging population, supplement nervonic acid can repair degenerated myelin, maintain long-term cognitive function.

What is Nervonic Acid?
Nervonic acid, also known as acetylcholic acid, is a monounsaturated fatty acid. Because it was discovered earlier in the nervous tissue of mammals, it was named nervonic acid. Nervonic acid is present in high concentrations in the brain and nervous tissue, is an important component of biological membranes, and is commonly used as a marker for cerebroside medulla (white matter).
Nervonic acid is considered a crucial nutrient that plays a vital role in the growth and regeneration of nerve cells, particularly those found in the brain, optic nerves, and peripheral nerves. It is an invaluable resource for nourishing and fortifying the brain and supporting overall physiological functions. Since the human body has limited capacity to produce this essential acid, it becomes imperative to incorporate it through external intake methods.
Nervonic acid is a natural constituent found in certain seed oils, such as corn oil and fish oil. However, it is more prevalent in niche crops. Within my country, Yuanbaofeng is a distinct woody plant seed that possesses nervonic acid. These seeds have significant oil content and serve as a valuable resource for extracting nervonic acid. Additionally, maple seeds contain various active ingredients, including nervonic acid and vitamin E. These compounds play a crucial role in safeguarding cells against oxidative stress induced by free radicals while enhancing cognitive function.
Clinical Features of Nervonic Acid
- Promote the reactivation of nerve endings, enhance the proliferation and maturation of nerve cells, and hinder the degeneration of English nerve fibers.
- The purpose is to prevent the divergence and decline of brain nerve fibers and nerve cells, promote the recovery of brain damage, and inhibit the collapse, atrophy and hardening of brain tissue.
- By promoting the development of brain tissue and reducing the accumulation of lipofuscin in brain cells, it can effectively prevent brain cell aging and ultimately achieve the purpose of extending lifespan.
- Enhance blood circulation in the brain, optimize oxygen supply to brain cells, and promote English metabolism.
- It can promote the growth, development and optimal function of brain tissue to improve the brain’s cognitive reaction time, improve motor skills and sensory functions, so that children with cerebral palsy can be self-reliant and proficient in English language.
Effects of Nervous Acid
Promote brain development and improve memory
Nervonic acid significantly contributes to enhancing brain nerve activity and preventing the aging of brain nerves. Daily intake of a small amount of nervonic acid can improve the functionality of brain cell membranes, promoting the transmission, processing, and connection of information within the brain. This enhancement in cognitive processes leads to improved memory function and facilitates the recovery from brain fatigue.
Slow down aging
Human aging often begins with the aging of the brain, and brain aging can lead to the decline of other functions. After the elderly consume nervonic acid, brain white matter is replenished in time, which improves the vitality of brain cells and helps enhance human vitality. Thereby achieving the purpose of delaying human aging.
Hypoglycemic and lipid-lowering
Functioning as a long-chain fatty acid, nervonic acid swiftly lowers low-density lipoprotein levels, elevates high-density lipoprotein levels, decreases total cholesterol in the serum, diminishes blood viscosity, and hinders platelet aggregation. Additionally, it fosters insulin secretion in the pancreatic islets, acting as a preventive measure against diabetes.
In addition, according to the latest research, since nervonic acid is the only substance that can repair nerve myelin, many effects that cannot be achieved by drugs can be compensated and repaired by nervonic acid, such as insomnia, forgetfulness, lack of concentration and other problems, which are often related to It is related to the loss of myelin sheath of nerves and can be repaired by nervonic acid.
Nervonic Acid Application
Pharmaceutical Field
By supplementing the diet with Nervonic acid, researchers observed improved cognitive function, reduced inflammation, and increased neuronal survival. These findings suggest that Nervonic acid may have great potential in developing therapeutic interventions for these debilitating diseases.
Biomedical Field
By measuring Nervonic acid levels in biological samples such as blood or cerebrospinal fluid, researchers may be able to identify early signs of neurodegeneration or monitor disease progression. This could revolutionize the field of diagnosis and enable early intervention, leading to more effective treatment outcomes.
