#hexanedioicacid

Adipic acid or hexanedioic acid is a special organic compound with the basic formula ((CH₂)₄(COOH)₂. From an environmental standpoint, it's the main dicarbonate compound: around 2.5 trillion kilograms of it are made every year, mostly as a precursor to the manufacture of nylon. Major companies are focused on R&D of more cost-effective and environmentally friendly synthesis of industrially important adipic acid derivatives. For instance, in February 2020, Evonik, a specialty chemicals company, and catalysis research institute Leibniz Institute for Catalysis (LIKAT), successfully achieved the first direct carbonylation of 1,3-butadiene. The carbonylation breakthrough paves the way for more cost-effective and environmentally friendly synthesis of industrially important adipic acid derivatives.

Hexanediolic acid is one of the main components in the synthesis of collagen and elastin. It's also responsible for keeping cells from losing water, which is a vital element for tissue repair. As such, it can be seen as a very powerful anti-oxidant. For these reasons, it has many beneficial properties and is one of the key ingredients in various anti-aging supplements.

But what exactly does adipic acid do for us? One of its good things is that it prevents fat accumulation, making it an ideal ingredient in many weight loss products. However, not all weight loss products are created equal. Some contain only lipids and are thus ineffective. Other products use some other natural substance as a "fat blocker" but are still ineffective.

The best weight loss supplements are those that combine the use of lipids with a more potent substance. These substances include: hydroxycitric acid, carnitine, and chromium. The primary difference between lipids alone is that lipids can't be broken down by lipase. The only way to effectively break down lipids is through the process of de novo lipogenesis, which involves the oxidation of fatty acids into acetylated derivatives.
