Linolenic acid CAS 463-40-1

Linolenic acid (α-linolenic acid, ALA, 18-carbon 9,12,15-trienoic acid) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid containing 18 carbon atoms and 3 double bonds. It belongs to the ω-3 (n-3) fatty acid family and is one of the essential fatty acids for the human body. α-Linolenic acid is the parent compound of the Omega-3 series of unsaturated fatty acids and can be converted into DHA and EPA in the body, which are more potent and safer than DHA. Omega-3 mainly includes α-linolenic acid (ALA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and is a class of polyunsaturated fatty acids with various biological activities. α-Linolenic acid is an essential fatty acid that the human body cannot synthesize and must obtain from food. It is metabolized in the body to produce docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid.
