Alpha linolenic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid containing 18 carbon atoms and 3 double bonds. It belongs to the omega-3 (n-3) fatty acid family and is one of the essential fatty acids for the human body. Alpha linolenic acid is the parent of Omega-3 series unsaturated fatty acids, which can be converted into DHA, EPA, etc. in the body, with stronger and safer effects than DHA. The human body cannot synthesize alpha linolenic acid on its own and needs to obtain essential fatty acids from food. Alpha linolenic acid usually exists in the form of glycerides in dark green plants, such as perilla seed oil, flaxseed oil, peony seed oil, etc.
The physiological effects of alpha linolenic acid include enhancing intelligence, improving memory, protecting vision, improving sleep, inhibiting thrombotic diseases, preventing myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction, lowering blood lipids and blood pressure, inhibiting hemorrhagic stroke, and preventing allergies.
Our company's products have the following advantages:
(1) Our production equipment is independently developed and has patent certification: our company can independently manufacture production equipment - short-range distillation equipment units (molecular distillation and thin film evaporation equipment), and has obtained multiple patent certifications for molecular distillation, vacuum filling, cold trap and other equipment. The equipment covers a full range of small-scale, medium scale, and large-scale production, avoiding the safety hazards that often exist in purchased production equipment, as well as the problems of cumbersome maintenance and difficult improvement of process technology;
(2) Long shelf life of the product: Alpha linolenic acid molecules contain three conjugated double bonds, making them highly reducing. High temperatures, oxygen in the air, ultraviolet radiation, and some heavy metal ions can oxidize them, making the product highly susceptible to spoilage. Our company adopts a unique production process that can completely isolate the product from contact with oxygen. During filling, nitrogen is also injected to achieve a dual safety effect. Therefore, the products produced by our company have a very long shelf life under suitable storage conditions.
(3) The product color is crystal clear: The product color appears light yellow or nearly colorless and transparent. Unlike traditional methods that rely solely on clay or activated carbon adsorption, our company uses vacuum distillation and pure physical methods to decolorize, avoiding the addition of new impurities in the product that affect quality;
(4) Rich product specifications: Currently, the alpha linolenic acid content in the product ranges from 60% to 85%, with a maximum of 86%. The selection range is wide and can meet various needs of different customers.
