What are esterified fatty acids?
Esterified fatty acids promote joint health, improving flexibility and mobility. Esterified fatty acids affect changes at the cellular level that positively enhance the responsiveness of the cell membranes, which can aid in the reduction of cartilage breakdown in the joints. Esterification is the general name for a chemical reaction in which two chemicals (typically an alcohol and an acid) form an ester as the reaction product. MonaVie Active’s esterified fatty acids are derived from a 100 percent vegetable source (palm nut oil).
