Nervonic Acid Powder

Nervonic Acid Powder – High-Purity Brain Health Ingredient from Professional Manufacturer

Xi'an Le-Nutra Ingredients Inc. specializes in manufacturing premium-grade Nervonic Acid Powder with verified purity levels of 90% and 95% by HPLC analysis. Sourced from sustainably harvested Malania oleifera oil and processed in our 60,000㎡ GMP-certified production facility, this white to pale yellow crystalline powder delivers consistent quality backed by 14+ years of natural ingredient expertise. Our annual production capacity of 3,000 tons ensures stable supply for nutraceutical manufacturers, functional food developers, and dietary supplement brands worldwide. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing with peroxide values maintained below 5.0 meq/kg and heavy metal content meeting international food safety standards.

What Is Nervonic Acid and Why It Matters for Product Formulation

Nervonic Acid (CAS No. 506-37-6), also known as Selacholeic Acid, represents a rare C24:1 omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acid naturally occurring in select botanical sources. This long-chain fatty acid plays a specialized role in lipid nutrition applications.

The pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries value this compound for its unique molecular structure. Unlike shorter-chain fatty acids, its 24-carbon backbone with a single double bond provides distinctive physical properties beneficial for advanced formulation work.

Our pharmaceutical-grade powder form offers superior handling characteristics compared to crude oil extracts. The crystalline structure allows precise dosing in tablet compression, easier blending in premix formulations, and improved stability during storage and transportation.

Technical Specifications and Quality Parameters

Core Functional Advantages for Your Formulations

Our high purity ingredient offers important long chain unsaturated fatty acid nutrition for specialised supplement applications. The manufacturing procedure removes the contamination of erucic acid, hence assuring safety profiles which conform to rigorous international food regulations.​​​​​​​

The powder form has its own advantages in processing. It is compatible with solid dose forms such as tablets, hard gelatin  capsules and premix blends its crystalline shape. This will give you better flowability when encapsulating and better weight homogeneity in the finished products.

The lipophilic characteristic means that it can be easily incorporated into oil-based delivery methods. When producing softgels or liquid supplements, the powder entirely dissolves into carrier oils without any residue. This property allows for clean label formulations with little excipient requirements.

Our regulated oxidation conditions enhance shelf life of the product. The low peroxide value maintains the integrity of the formulation over distribution cycles. The stability advantage translates into fewer reformulations and fewer quality complaints on finished goods.

Application Solutions Across Multiple Industries

Nutraceutical Supplements: We carefully control purity levels that improve brain health softgels, cognitive support capsules and compound algae oil compositions. The powder is part of multi-ingredient mixes for adult nutrition markets.

Functional Foods: This ingredient finds use in lipid solid beverages, nutrition bars and fortified dairy alternatives to improve fatty acid profiles. The crystalline form is thermally stable and will not decompose at the normal food processing temperatures.

Children’s Nutrition: Our pharmaceutical grade material is used in premix powders for growing-up milk formulas and paediatric supplements. Verified purity and full heavy metal testing provide safety for sensitive customer segments.

Sports Nutrition: Recovery formulations and performance supplements add this specialized fatty acid to comprehensive nutrition profiles. The Nervonic Acid Powder format simplifies manufacturing logistics compared to oil-based alternatives.

We have an R&D staff that collaborates directly with your formulators to optimise solubility characteristics for specific delivery methods.

Custom Packaging Configurations from 1kg Aluminium Foil Bags to 25kg Fibre Drums Private Labelling Services. Depending on your distribution environment, you can specify nitrogen flushing, desiccant inclusion and secondary confinement.

Full product conceptualisation supports formula development. Our scientists can offer you with data on stability testing, advise appropriate excipients and make recommendations for processing conditions on your manufacturing equipment. This technological relationship accelerates your time-to-market and reduces your trial-and-error expenditures.

Quality Assurance and Regulatory Compliance

All production batches are fully tested with validated HPLC procedures. We have an ISO 17025 accredited in-house laboratory, meaning the accuracy of our measurements can be verified by third party audits.

Heavy metals analysis is done by AOAC procedures with limits of detection below the regulatory criteria. In each batch we test for lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury and we provide full certificates of analysis with numerical values, not just a pass/fail notation.

Microbial testing is conducted by total plate count, yeast and mould enumeration and pathogen screening. The results regularly confirm our manufacturing environment controls and raw material quality management systems.

Documentation bundles to help your global regulatory submissions. We give COA, TDS, MSDS, MOA and allergy declarations as standard. FDA registration letters, Kosher certificates and GMP compliance papers available upon request.

Supply Chain Reliability and Logistics Support

Our 30-day safety stock strategy helps safeguard your production plans against supply disruptions. Regular specs ship in 3-5 business days from the date of purchase confirmation. Custom high purity grades are 7-15 days in production and quality confirmation.

We have direct relationships with certified organic farmers that grow Malania oleifera. This vertical integration enables traceability of raw materials from field through to finished ingredient. You get full chain-of-custody evidence that reflects sustainable sourcing practices.

We provide flexible delivery terms such as EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF, DAP, and DDP options. Our logistics partners offer competitive freight rates on established shipping lanes to North America, Europe and South East Asia. We take care of all export paperwork and may arrange temperature controlled transportation of critical items.
