Healthkintai^® chose Inner Mongolia as the raw material production area for its Acer truncatum seed extract. Firstly, Inner Mongolia boasts the largest existing natural forest resources of Acer truncatum with trees over 200 years old in China, with over 50,000 mu in Horqin Left Rear Banner alone, and 150,000 mu of natural forest within Tongliao City, ensuring both scarcity and scale for raw material supply. Secondly, the lower temperatures are conducive to the accumulation of oil in Acer truncatum seeds, and the nervonic acid content varies significantly among seed sources in this region, with some areas showing outstanding individual tree content, providing a high-quality germplasm gene pool for the breeding of high-value varieties.

The production process for Acer truncatum seed extract (nervonic acid) follows four main phases. First, seeds are cleaned, dehulled, dried, and crushed into powder. Second, crude oil is extracted-typically via subcritical fluid extraction using butane for high yield (>35%) or low-temperature pressing. Third, the crude oil undergoes refining through degumming, alkali deacidification, bleaching, deodorization, and winterization to remove impurities. Finally, nervonic acid is purified by saponification, acidification, urea complexation (to separate saturated fatty acids), low-temperature crystallization (at -40°C), and optional molecular distillation, achieving ≥60% purity. The final product is vacuum-dried and nitrogen-packaged for stability.

Regulations concerning nervonic acid, Acer Truncatum Seed Extract Nervonic Acid, differ significantly between the US FDA and the EU EFSA. In the US, high-purity nervonic acid is generally considered "Generally Recognized As Safe" (GRAS), allowing companies to legally use it as a dietary supplement or food ingredient through self-certification. The FDA does not set an official daily intake limit, but caution must be exercised to avoid medical claims and control impurities. In the EU, however, high-purity nervonic acid is classified as a "novelty food," requiring premarket authorization from the EFSA before it can be sold. Currently, the approved daily intake for adults is typically limited to 300 mg. Therefore, exporting to the US requires GRAS certification, while exporting to the EU necessitates novelty food authorization or strict adherence to dosage restrictions.

nervonic acid and brain health

The core benefit of nervonic acid in Acer truncatum seed extract for brain health lies in its repairing and protective effects as a key component of the myelin sheath. It can repair damaged nerve fibers and promote neuronal regeneration, and is an essential substance for the formation of myelin sheaths in brain nerve cells. Supplementing with nervonic acid can effectively alleviate symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis, and can significantly improve neurological function after stroke, reduce the area of ​​cerebral infarction, and promote the expression of myelin basic protein.

nervonic acid for weight loss

Nervonic acid has positive effects on weight management. Its mechanism of action mainly involves activating the PPARα and PGC1α signaling pathways in the liver, improving the acylcarnitine profile, thereby enhancing fatty acid β-oxidation and promoting energy metabolism. Furthermore, it can improve several metabolic indicators, including lowering blood glucose levels and improving insulin and glucose tolerance. Notably, nervonic acid levels are typically low in obese individuals and are negatively correlated with BMI, suggesting that nervonic acid supplementation may be an effective strategy for improving obesity and its related metabolic complications.

nervonic acid for kids

Nervonic acid plays a crucial role in children's brain development, especially in infancy. As a key structural component of nerve myelin and sphingomyelin, it directly participates in the myelination process that promotes efficient nerve signal transmission in the brain. Nervonic acid is naturally present in breast milk and is essential for supporting the normal growth and development of the nervous system in infants. Premature infants, due to incomplete intrauterine myelination, are a particularly important group requiring attention; while for full-term healthy infants, appropriate supplementation with nervonic acid in formula may further promote their cognitive development.

Truncatum Seed Extract Nervonic Acid Supplements

Currently, nervonic acid is increasingly available in a variety of forms in the health supplement industry, including soft capsules, compound dairy products,and edible formula oils. Among these, the Acer truncatum nervonic acid soft capsule is a representative product, primarily targeting its health benefits such as promoting brain development, preventing nerve fiber atrophy, delaying aging, and enhancing immunity. Furthermore, by scientifically blending Acer truncatum seed oil with other plant oils, it can be made into a nutritionally balanced health supplement oil for daily consumption, allowing nervonic acid to be widely ingested through the diet.

Nervonic Acid Food

Nervonic acid, an extract from Acer truncatum seeds, has been applied in various everyday food products. In dairy products, microencapsulation technology is used to add Acer truncatum seed oil to pure milk, yogurt, and other products to enhance their nervonic acid nutritional value. In edible oils, Acer truncatum seed oil is blended with soybean oil, olive oil, and other oils to create nervonic acid-rich blended oils, which can be used for everyday cooking. In addition, nervonic acid is also processed into convenient products such as solid beverages, meal replacement powders, compressed candies, and gel candies, and is used to partially replace butter or vegetable oils in baked goods such as bread and biscuits.

Nervonic Acid in Skincare

The nervonic acid in Acer truncatum seed extract has skin barrier repair, moisturizing, nourishing, and anti-aging effects in the skincare field. Nervonic acid is a naturally occurring fatty acid in the skin that replenishes the skin's nutrients, promotes cell regeneration, and enhances skin elasticity and radiance. Its high content of unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants forms a protective film to prevent moisture loss, while also resisting free radical damage and delaying skin aging. Acer truncatum seed oil has been used in facial serums, massage oils, and other products, suitable for dry, sensitive, and mature skin, especially suitable for dry seasons or when the skin barrier is damaged.

According to official announcements, the recommended daily intake of Acer truncatum seed oil,  is no more than 3 grams. This data comes from the Announcement on Approving Acer truncatum Seed Oil and Peony Seed Oil as New Resource Foods (Announcement No. 9 of 2011) issued by the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China on March 22, 2011.It should be noted that the "consumption ≤ 3 grams/day" in this announcement refers to the limit of the Acer truncatum seed oil raw material itself, not the dosage of pure nervonic acid. According to the quality standards stipulated in the announcement, the nervonic acid content in Acer truncatum seed oil must be ≥ 3.0%. Therefore, based on 3 grams of Acer truncatum seed oil per day, the daily intake of nervonic acid is approximately 90 milligrams (3 grams × 3% = 0.09 grams = 90 milligrams). If using products with higher purity nervonic acid, the intake should be calculated based on the actual content.

Nervonic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the human brain and has a high degree of safety. Numerous scientific studies, through animal experiments, have confirmed that nervonic acid is practically non-toxic and will not damage genes or cause birth defects. At normal consumption levels, the vast majority of people experience no adverse reactions and tolerate it well. Only a very small number of sensitive individuals may experience mild gastrointestinal discomfort initially, such as slight stomach upset or loose stools, which usually disappears with continued use. However, two points should be noted: first, Acer truncatum seed extract should not be used in infant food; second, people allergic to components of Acer truncatum seeds should avoid using it.
