Oleic Acid

Monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid found in olive oil

We rank Oleic Acid by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Oleic Acid is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid. This is a type of healthy fat that contains only one double bond in its chemical structure, and it is most commonly found in olive oil.

Why it's used

It is used as a dietary supplement to provide essential fats. While it is a primary component of olive oil, it is often taken in isolated form to support general health.

How it's made

To create the supplement, the fat is extracted from plant sources, typically olives. The oil undergoes a refining process to isolate the specific oleic acid from other fats and impurities, which is then processed into a liquid or encapsulated form for sale.

What it typically costs

This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because while the raw source materials are abundant, the industrial refining process required to isolate the pure acid adds to the production cost.
