Undecylenic Acid Helps Bone Building
Undecylenic acid is a medium chain fatty. Surprisingly, researchers have now shown that this nutrient stimulates the bone-building osteoblasts2.

The researchers demonstrated that undecylenic turned on alkaline phosphatase, a sign that osteoblasts have gone into action. Furthermore, the nutrient also assisted gene expression of osteocalcin, a critical step in helping calcium to form bones.
