Product Information

• Name: Linolenic acid - 98%
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Linolenic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is essential for human health. It is a precursor of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which has been implicated in the regulation of cell death and inflammation. Linolenic acid has been shown to induce apoptosis in vitro by inhibiting the mitochondrial membrane potential and activating caspases 3 and 9, thereby inducing neuronal death. In vivo, linolenic acid has been shown to have beneficial effects on cardiovascular function, including lowering cholesterol levels and improving blood flow to the heart. Linolenic acid also has antioxidant properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation and scavenge free radicals.
