The lipids of Tropaeolum speciosum (T. speciosum) are a rich source of naturally occurring nervonic acid (24:1n-9). We report that adding a T. speciosum oil supplement to a semi-purified diet significantly increased the amount of 24:1n-9 in liver and heart, but not brain, sphingomyelin (SM) of young rats. The bioavailability of 24:1n-9 from the lipids of T. speciosum was similar to that of 24:1n-9 ethyl ester in this rat bioassay.
