    Product Description

    Hexacosanoic acid is a 26-carbon saturated (26:0) very-long-chain fatty acid. Plasma levels of hexacosanoic acid are increased in a mouse model of adrenoleukodystrophy, a peroxisomal disorder.1 Increased levels of hexacosanoic acid in red blood cells or in plasma positively correlated with atherosclerotic risk factors and metabolic syndrome, respectively.2,3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
