Is it possible to buy mead acid?
-
It seems strange that I basically cannot even find a scientific source for this acid. Is there some way of producing it aside from PUFA depletion?

@ZeroTron There are a couple of publications on Pubmed if you search for mead acid and some more if you search for eicosatrienoic acid, which is the scientific name, but yeah it's not that researched.
You can find sources by googling (someone said Yandex is better for this) its cas number which is 20590-32-3, albeit not many.
I think Peat said that even though it is technically a pufa, it has sfa-like properties. But i would take it exogenously it may behave differently.
