Nisinic acid is a very long chain polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid, similar to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The lipid name is 24:6 (n-3) and the chemical name is all-cis-6,9,12,15,18,21-tetracosahexaenoic acid. It is not well studied, but polyunsaturated fatty acids even longer than DHA, nisinic acid included, may hold scientific promise.[1][vague]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
