General Details
Product name: Acer Truncatum (seed) Extract
Plant latin name: Acer truncatum Bunge
Product Specification: Nervonic acid 90-98% by HPLC
Appearance: White powder, yellow oil
The active ingredient of Acer truncatum seed extract is nervonic acid, which is a dual-effect substance recognized by scientists from various countries that can repair and clear damaged brain nerve pathways and promote the regeneration of nerve cells. The chemical name of nervonic acid is cis-15-tetradecenoic acid, also known as shark oleic acid, which is a white crystalline powder.
Nervonic acid is the core natural component of brain nerve fibers and nerve cells. It is difficult for the human body to synthesize it by itself and must be supplemented by food intake. Acer truncatum extract is rich in nervonic acid, which plays a vital role in brain development and function maintenance. Neuroacid plays a great role in improving the activity of brain nerves and preventing the aging of brain nerves. It is one of the important components of brain nerve cell membranes. It can enhance the function of brain cell membranes, enhance the connection, transmission, and processing of information in the brain, enhance the human body’s memory function, and promote the
recovery of brain fatigue.
At present, nervonic acid in its extract has been widely used in cosmetics and skincare products, health products, functional foods, food nutrient enhancers, medicines and health foods, nutritional supplements, dietary supplements, and other fields.
Health Benefits
Promote brain development and improve memory
As the active ingredient of Acer truncatum extract, nervonic acid is an essential nutrient for brain development and maintenance of function. It can enhance the function of brain cell membranes and plays a key role in information transmission and processing. By taking a small amount of nervonic acid every day, the activity of brain nerves can be increased and brain nerve aging can be prevented. Brain nerve cells are crucial in information transmission and processing, and nervonic acid is one of the important components of brain nerve cell membranes. It can enhance the connection, transmission, and processing of information in the brain, enhance human memory function, and promote recovery from brain fatigue.
Delaying aging
Human aging often starts with brain aging, and brain deterioration can cause other functional declines. After the elderly take nervonic acid, the brain’s white matter can be replenished in time, improving the vitality of brain cells, enhancing the vitality of human life, and delaying the aging of brain cells. Neuronic acid can reduce malondialdehyde in the blood, enhance the activity of superoxide dismutase, reduce the accumulation of lipofuscin in brain cells, remove free radicals, improve brain blood circulation, provide essential nutrients for nerve cells, and activate nerve cells.
Lowering blood sugar and lipids
As a long-chain fatty acid, nervonic acid can promote the normal metabolism of essential fatty acids in the human body. It synergistically acts on the essential fatty acids ω-3 and ω-6 in the human body, rapidly reducing low-density lipoprotein in the blood, increasing high-density lipoprotein, reducing total cholesterol in serum, reducing blood viscosity, inhibiting platelet aggregation, promoting insulin secretion by β cells in the pancreas, and preventing diabetes. Studies have shown that nervonic acid can improve blood microcirculation, has obvious effects on hyperlipidemia, hypertension, hyperglycemia, atherosclerosis, and other diseases, and can effectively prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and other diseases.
Improve Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease is a degenerative disease of the nervous system. Patients suffer from widespread atrophy of the cerebral cortex, sparse white matter, tangled nerve fibers, and loss of neurons, axons, and dendrites, which leads to blockage of the central nervous fiber information transmission pathway. Supplementing with nervonic acid can repair damaged and activate dormant nerve cells, enhance brain cell energy, promote cell proliferation and differentiation, establish a new synaptic network system, prevent brain nerve cell aging and damage, and restore the brain’s clear cognition, discrimination, learning, thinking, and memory abilities.
Relieve symptoms of cerebral palsy and brain atrophy
Neuronic acid can completely pass through the blood-brain barrier and directly act on nerve fibers to repair and clear them. It regenerates the damaged and detached “protective sheath”, dissolves the necrotic tissue that blocks the channel, induces nerve fibers to grow and divide on their own, activates dormant nerve cells, reshapes the neural network, restores language, memory, sensation, limbs, and other functions, promotes brain damage recovery, prevents brain tissue from softening, collapsing and atrophy, and achieves rehabilitation and self-care.
Brain trauma repair
Neuronic acid can repair the damage to nerve fibers and cells caused by surgery or accidental trauma, restoring memory, limb movement function, etc. It can also repair the trauma site according to the most original genetic information plan and gradually eliminate the numbness of the wound, restoring various tissues such as tendons, bones, skin, and flesh to their original appearance as much as possible.
Applications
Acer truncatum extract has a wide range of applications and can be used in cosmetics, skin care products, health products, functional foods, food nutrient enhancers, medicines and health foods, nutritional supplements, dietary supplements, etc. In the field of cosmetics and skin care products, high levels of natural nervonic acid are used as raw materials for nourishing color cosmetics. They can penetrate quickly, do not produce a greasy and sticky feeling, do not cause irritation and sensitivity, have good moisturizing properties, and provide softness, smoothness, and elasticity to the skin. In the field of health products, there is an Acer truncatum pollen health care composition, which contains Acer truncatum pollen extract, Herba quinquefolii powder, and American ginseng powder, which can give full play to the anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant health care effects of Acer truncatum pollen, and is beneficial for protecting the liver and improving the stomach. In addition, there are also Acer truncatum health lozenges, which are made of Acer truncatum leaf extract (flavonoids), Acer truncatum seed extract (nervonic acid), flavoring agents, and nutritional enhancers. They can prevent nerve fiber atrophy, promote brain development, delay aging, enhance human immunity and digestive function, significantly reduce high blood lipid concentrations in the blood, and alleviate the incidence of some high blood pressure, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and blood circulation disorders caused by high blood lipids. In the food field, Acer truncatum extract is used in functional foods such as tablets, gel candies, milk powder, and beverages to provide nutrition for the human body. In the field of medicine and health food, the neurotropic acid substance in Acer truncatum seed oil can improve cognitive function and brain damage and has potential application value as a nutritional supplement in patients with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).
