Nervonic acid, C24H46O2 is an omega-9 fatty acid that is very rare in foods and dietary supplements. Nervonic acid is concentrated in the white matter of our brains, myelin sheaths, muscles, central nervous system and in peripherals of our nerve tissue. Our source of nervonic acid is from the purpleblow maple tree seed. Nervidyne contains 98% nervonic acid extract mixed with lion’s mane mushroom extract and curcuminoids.
We are increasingly being exposed to heavy metals like mercury which causes the myelin sheath protective covering of our nerve cells to be destroyed. Nervonic acid is the main constituent of these myelin sheaths and thus of great significance in any neurological and/or autoimmune condition where nerve cells are being attacked.
Nervidyne contains a very significant amount of nervonic acid, and is combined with Lion’s Mane extract that is an excellent nootropic that contains nerve growth factors – making it a very synergistic and potent support for nerve health.
Nerve axons typically only grow from 1-5mm a day but re-myelination can happen much more quickly.
