Description

Calcium (9Z,12Z,15Z)-9,12,15-Octadecatrienoate is the calcium salt of α-linolenic acid (ALA), a key ω-3 fatty acid. This compound is valued for its role as a stable, bioavailable source of essential fatty acids in nutritional and pharmaceutical formulations. It is primarily required by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, dietary supplement, and functional food industries seeking to fortify products with ω-3s.

Application

• As a key active ingredient in dietary supplements and nutraceutical capsules for cardiovascular and cognitive health support.
• Fortification agent in functional foods and beverages to enhance nutritional profiles with ω-3 fatty acids.
• Raw material in pharmaceutical intermediates for specialized drug delivery systems.
• Component in animal feed premixes to improve the nutritional quality of livestock and aquaculture feed.
• Used in cosmetic formulations for its potential skin-conditioning and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Research and development chemical in life science laboratories for biochemical and nutritional studies.

Quality Control

Our Calcium (9Z,12Z,15Z)-9,12,15-Octadecatrienoate is produced under strict quality management systems. The product undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting specifications suitable for nutritional and pharmaceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, heavy metals, and microbiological parameters are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment. For long-term stability, consider storage under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation.
