Oleic acid is the most common monounsaturated fatty acid in human cells.
Optimal range: 14 - 21 wt %
Oleic acid (OA) has an 18-carbon backbone with one double bond at the 9th position (18:1n9). Oleic acid’s main dietary source is olive oil, and it is also available as a supplement. OA can also be synthesized in the body by adding a double bond to stearic acid using the enzyme delta-9-desaturase. Oleic acid is important in cell membrane fluidity and has attracted a lot of positive attention due the amount of olive oil found in the ‘Mediterranean diet.’
