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.
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.
