Beskrivelse

What is stearic acid (SA)?

Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid with an 18-carbon chain. It is present in substantial amounts in meat, cocoa butter, and shea butter, as well as in some plant oils. Unlike other saturated fatty acids, stearic acid is unique in that it does not seem to raise LDL (bad) cholesterol levels significantly and is thus often considered to have a more neutral effect on heart health.

Who would benefit from monitoring stearic acid intake?
  • Individuals interested in managing their saturated fat intake without significantly impacting their cholesterol levels.
  • People focusing on a balanced diet who are considering the types of fats they consume.
  • Those with a higher risk of heart disease looking to make informed dietary choices.
What is the role of stearic acid in the body?

In the body, stearic acid is primarily used as an energy source and is a component of various lipids, including triglycerides and phospholipids, which are integral to cell membranes. It can be converted to oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat, which may contribute to its less detrimental effects on cholesterol levels compared to other saturated fats.

What are the symptoms of excessive stearic acid intake?

While stearic acid is generally considered to have a neutral effect on cholesterol levels, excessive intake of any fat, including stearic acid, can contribute to:

  • Weight gain and obesity if consumed in caloric excess.
  • Potential increased risk of heart disease if part of an overall diet high in saturated fats.
  • Imbalance in the ratio of saturated to unsaturated fats, which can impact overall health.

Hjemmetesten var enkel med tydelige instruksjoner å følge. Testresultatet var detaljert og klart presentert. Fikk også muligheten til å stille spørsmål om testresultatet.

Vi så på mange selskaper som tilbyr de samme tjenestene, men bestemte oss for å gå videre med GetTested på grunn av gode anbefalinger fra andre som har brukt dem. Prosessen har vært veldig enkel.

Det er andre leverandører der ute, jeg har prøvd tre. GetTested var den raskeste og kundeservicen var den beste, både veldig kompetente og trevlige.

Helt perfekt, resultatene kom etter noen dager, og etter mange besøk hos fastlegen, vet vi endelig hvorfor sønnen min har eksem – han er allergisk mot hvete. Tusen takk.

Jeg opplevde dem som profesjonelle og ventetiden for resultatene var ikke for lang. De var hjelpsomme med eventuelle etterfølgende spørsmål. Vil bruke dem igjen ved behov. Jeg anbefaler dem på det sterkeste.
