Linolenic acid 463-40-1

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, 18-carbon 9,12,15-trienoic acid) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid containing 18 carbon atoms and three double bonds. It belongs to the ω-3 (n-3) series of fatty acids and is one of the essential fatty acids for the human body. Alpha-linolenic acid is the precursor to the omega-3 series of unsaturated fatty acids and can be converted into DHA, EPA, and others within the body; it is more potent and safer than DHA and other omega-3 fatty acids.
