Who knew about this? I have never heard of it, and I could not find any references on here.

Nervonic acid is used in the treatment of disorders involving demyelination, such as adrenoleukodystrophy and multiple sclerosis where there is a decreased level of nervonic acid in sphingolipids.

Nervonic acid is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid. Nervonic acid has been identified as important in the biosynthesis of nerve cell myelin. It is found in the sphingolipids of white matter in human brain.

In most references you find that people say it is a treatment for MS, yet searching google scholar does not show many useful hits. :?
However, these were two others that I found.
http://www.nervonicacid.com Maybe a little obvious. These guys sell it in bulk. Minimum 1Kg.
A Patent

I rang the local import control of medicines today, and they said I can personally import up to 3 months for personal use.

I do not understand why there are so many people on Alibaba.com trying to sell the stuff, but no one appears to sell it as a supplement. What is it being used for?

I am trying to import 4-AP-3-MeHO, so I will try asking the supplier of that if he can get it, and I will also ring my compounding pharmacy to see if they can source it.

Actually found a company that sells it, and has offices around the world! including one in Australia. But they certainly do not present it for human consumption. And its chemical diagram looks very different to every other one I have seen.
