    Product Description

    8(Z),14(Z)-Eicosadienoic Acid is an ω-8 C20:2 fatty acid. The presence of 8(Z),14(Z)-eicosadienoic acid has been detected in human milk at a level of 0.19% (weight % total fatty acids).1 Eicosadienoic acids are converted by desaturases, in vivo, to eicosatrienoic acids, which are potent vasodilators. The physiological effects of 8(Z),14(Z)-eicosadienoic acid are unstudied.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
