Docosahexaenoic Acid-d5 Ethyl Ester（Cat No.:R010692） is a deuterated form of the omega-3 fatty acid, Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA), where five deuterium atoms enhance its stability and analytical detectability. This compound is crucial for studying omega-3 metabolism and its impacts on cardiovascular, neurological, and visual health. The ethyl ester form improves the solubility and handling properties, facilitating its use in clinical and nutritional research. By incorporating deuterium, researchers can accurately track DHA’s absorption, distribution, and degradation in the body, supporting the development of effective dietary supplements and therapeutic strategies.
