Nervonic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid with 24 carbon atoms and 1 double bond present in nerve tissue and fish oil. Nervonic acid is an essential nutrient for brain development and an essential component of cell membranes in the human body.
Nervonic acid was first isolated from the brains of sharks and its molecular structure was determined over a century ago; due to this, the acid is also known as shark oil acid. Scientists found that shark brains could repair themselves quickly after being damaged, suggesting that nervonic acid had the ability to promote the repair and regeneration of nerve fibers in damaged brain tissue.
