alpha-Linolenic Acid-d5

alpha-Linolenic acid-d5 (ALA-d5) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of ALA (Cay-90210) by GC- or LC-MS. ALA is an essential fatty acid found in leafy green vegetables. ALA, as part of a low saturated fat diet, helps prevent cardiovascular disease. ALA decreases blood pressure, serum cholesterol levels, and platelet aggregation.Formal Name: 9Z,12Z,15Z-octadecatrienoic-17,17',18,18,18-d5 acid. CAS Number: 145191-04-4.
