Research & Evidence
This is an N-isobutyl alkylamide of an eleven-carbon undecadienoic acid, belonging to the alkylamide family characteristic of Echinacea. These pungent, lipophilic constituents are studied as a group for sensory and proposed immune-modulating effects; little is established about this particular homologue on its own.
