Acer truncatum seed oil is rich in a variety of essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins for the human body, among which fat-soluble vitamins are rich, and vitamin E content is very high, which has antioxidant and anti-aging effects. The content of unsaturated fatty acids is as high as 90%, and the content of essential fatty acids (linoleic acid) is higher than that of imported olive oil and palm oil. Neuroacid is also found in Acer truncatum seed oil. It is recognized by scientists around the world as the only dual-effect magical substance that can repair and dredge damaged brain nerve pathways and promote nerve cell regeneration. Neuroacid is the core natural component of brain nerve fibers and nerve cells. Lack of neuroacid will cause brain diseases such as sequelae of cerebral stroke, Alzheimer's disease, cerebral palsy, brain atrophy, memory loss, insomnia and forgetfulness. Neuroacid is difficult for the human body to produce itself, and can only be supplemented by in vitro intake. So far, Acer truncatum seed oil is still regarded as the main source of neuroacid.
However, there have always been two problems with the application of Acer truncatum seed oil microcapsule powder: 1. Poor water solubility 2. Poor stability These problems greatly limit the further application of Acer truncatum seed oil microcapsule powder.
1.Effects on brain health
Oral nervonic acid (NA) supplementation can enhance learning memory in animal (normal mice and mice with experimental memory impairment) models as proved by water-maze swim and platform step-down technologies.NA possesses a possible potential in enhancing human memory and cognitive function.
2.Effects on the nervous system

An investigation and analysis focused on the cognitive impairment of the elderly aged ≥60 years and older and their serum fatty acid profile. The study found that the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) decreases with increasing serum nervonic acid levels and increases with decreasing eicosenoic acid levels.
Prodromal symptoms of psychosis have confirmed their close relation with decreased NA levels in erythrocyte membranes. Independent sample’s t-tests indicated that NA was significantly lower in the subjects who developed a psychotic disorder.
3.Effects on the cardiovascular system
Investigation on the association of erythrocyte omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acid and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality revealed that NA is an independent predictor of cardiovascular death.
The total flavonoids in the seeds and leaves of Acer truncatum are high and rich in vitamin E. Multiple evidences show that flavonoids have anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular disease-improving activities. People with higher vitamin E intake have a lower risk of coronary heart disease.
4.Effects on the motor system
A randomized double-blind study of the efficacy of frankincense extract on adjuvant-induced arthritis rats showed that frankincense extract had significant anti-inflammatory effects, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Liu Xiangyun et al. studied the anti-inflammatory effects of frankincense and frankincense acid, which were used in the clinical treatment of rheumatoid arthritis cases, with an effective rate of 95% and a cure rate of 85%.
Acer truncatum oil was used to intervene in rats with exercise exhaustion model. The results showed that the increase in CK, LDH activity and MDA in the low-dose Acer truncatum oil exhaustion group (LG) was lower than that in the exhaustion group (EG), indicating that low-dose Acer truncatum oil played a protective role on rat tissues and organs, reduced the level of cellular lipid peroxidation, and helped to resist exercise-induced oxidative stress.
5.Effects on intestinal health
Acer truncatum seed oil can effectively alleviate LPS-induced intestinal damage, weight loss and colon shortening in mice, inhibit apoptosis of colonic epithelial cells, repair intestinal mucosal damage caused by inflammatory response, and thus restore intestinal barrier function. In addition, Acer truncatum seed oil can also reduce MPO activity and MDA production levels in the colon. In summary, Acer truncatum seed oil has a good tissue repair and anti-inflammatory effect on mice with intestinal inflammatory damage.
