Description
Our Arachidonic is an omega-6 fatty acid, supplied for lab research. It’s tested to 99% purity or higher and sold strictly for lab research.
About Arachidonic
Arachidonic acid is a 20-carbon omega-6 fatty acid found in meat, eggs and fish. The body makes it from linoleic acid and stores it in cell membranes.
It’s sold as 90 capsules.
How it works
Arachidonic acid is the starting material for prostaglandins, which signal muscle repair and growth after training. It’s also released from membranes when cells are stressed.
Too much prostaglandin signaling drives inflammation, which is the trade-off.
What studies say about Arachidonic
Roberts and colleagues reported in 2007 that arachidonic acid supplements raised peak power in trained men over 50 days. De Souza’s 2016 study reported strength and muscle gains.
It’s also studied for its role in inflammation and brain development.

Using Arachidonic in the lab
Research in this area usually measures lean mass, strength and hormone markers, plus liver enzymes and lipids. Prohormones convert to active steroids in the body, so measuring the metabolites tells you more than measuring the parent compound.
Natural anabolics such as ecdysteroids and plant compounds act through different receptors from steroids, which is why they’re often compared against them.
If you’re comparing a prohormone with a natural anabolic, match the training protocol between groups. Training alone changes most of these markers.
Arachidonic specifications

How we test each batch
We test each batch for identity and purity before it ships, using HPLC and mass spectrometry, with independent third-party checks on top of our own.
The batch number on the label matches the certificate of analysis. If your lab keeps paperwork on file, ask us for it and we’ll email it over.
Keeping it fresh
Keep the container sealed at room temperature, away from heat, moisture and sunlight. Write the date you opened or mixed it on the label, so anyone else in the lab knows how old it is.
Handling notes
Treat it as a lab chemical. Gloves and safety glasses are the minimum, and a clean, uncluttered workspace cuts down on mix-ups.
Store prepared solutions apart from untouched stock, and record who mixed what and when.

How it compares
4-Andro: 4-Andro is 4-androstene-3-beta-ol-17-one, a prohormone that converts to testosterone. It’s closely related to androstenedione.
Osthole 98%: Osthole is a coumarin found in Cnidium monnieri seeds, a plant used in traditional Chinese medicine. Ours is standardized to 98%.
Beta-Ecdysterone 99% Capsules: Beta-ecdysterone is 20-hydroxyecdysone, the main ecdysteroid in insects and in plants such as spinach, quinoa and Cyanotis vaga. Our capsules are standardized to 99%.
Epicatechin: Epicatechin is a flavanol found in cocoa, green tea and grapes. The (-)-epicatechin form is the one most studied.
