Arachidonic acid, which is all-cis-5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid, has the following chemical formula: CH3(CH2)4(CH=CH-CH2)4(CH2)2COOH, which is an unsaturated fatty acid, It contains four carbon-carbon double bonds and one carbon-oxygen double bond, which is a high-grade unsaturated fatty acid. Widely distributed in the animal kingdom, a small amount in a variety of glycerides, can also be found in glycerophospholipids. The human body can be synthesized from linoleic acid. It is inferred to be one of the starting materials for prostaglandin biosynthesis.

1. Muscle Growth
ARA is an important dietary component in support of the muscle anabolic process. Arachidonic acid is a regulator of localized muscle inflammation, and may be a central nutrient controlling the intensity of the anabolic/tissue-rebuilding response to weight training.
2. Brain
Arachidonic acid is one of the most abundant fatty acids in the brain, and is present in similar quantities to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Arachidonic acid helps to maintain hippocampal ,cell membrane fluidity and helps protect the brain from oxidative stress by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma.
3. Alzheimer's Disease
Supplementation of arachidonic acid during the early stages of this disease may actually be effective in reducing symptoms and slowing the disease progress.
4. Bodybuilding Supplement
Arachidonic acid is marketed as an anabolic bodybuilding supplement in a variety of products.
