    Product Description

    13-methyl Myristic acid is a methylated fatty acid that has been found in dairy ewe rumen liquor, bovine milk, goat milk fat, the edible flesh of rainbow trout (O. mykiss), and Flavobacterium.1,2,3,4,5 13-methyl Myristic acid is also found in arable soil, and its levels decrease in response to contamination with the heavy metals cadmium, copper, nickel, and lead.6 [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 1605]
