    Product Description

    1,3-Dioctanoyl-2-oleoyl glycerol is a triacylglycerol that contains octanoic acid at the sn-1 and sn-3 positions and oleic acid (Item Nos. 90260 | 24659) at the sn-2 position. In a diet-induced hamster model of hypercholesterolemia, replacing dietary coconut oil with 1,3-dioctanoyl-2-oleoyl glycerol reduces total cholesterol levels in both the plasma and aorta.1

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
