    Product Description

    Phytanic acid is a saturated 20-carbon branched-chain fatty acid that can only be derived from dietary sources. Under normal conditions, phytanic acid is degraded via α-oxidation (oxidative decarboxylation) to produce pristanic acid, which then undergoes β-oxidation as part of the metabolism process.1,2 Degradation of phytanic acid is impaired in patients with peroxisomal disorders or diseases such as infantile phytanic acid storage disease or Refsum’s disease.3 phytanoyl-Coenzyme A (CoA) is the conjugate of phytanic acid and CoA.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
