    Product Description

    13Z,16Z-Docosadienoic acid is a natural ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). It is an agonist of free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFAR4, also known as GPR120) and strongly inhibits the secretion of ghrelin by isolated mouse gastric cells.1 This 20:2 PUFA has been identified in mammals, fish, plants, and anaerobic fungi.2,3,4,5,6

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
