GLA (Gamma-Linolenic Acid)

GLA is a rare, plant-based omega-6 fatty acid found in oils such as borage, evening primrose, and black currant seed oil. Unlike typical omega-6s, GLA has anti-inflammatory properties and is converted in the body into dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), which helps regulate the immune system and reduce inflammation.
It is especially beneficial for hormonal balance, making it a popular ingredient for managing PMS, menopause symptoms, and skin conditions like eczema and acne. GLA also contributes to joint flexibility, nerve function, and healthy hair and skin, making it a multitasking nutrient for internal and external well-being.

Let's Understand the Science

GLA is a rare and valuable omega-6 fatty acid found in plant oils such as borage, evening primrose, and black currant seed oil. It plays a crucial role in forming anti-inflammatory prostaglandins, which help regulate immune responses, reduce joint pain, and improve skin health, especially in conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

Unlike common omega-6 fats that may promote inflammation, GLA supports the body’s natural healing and balancing processes. It’s especially beneficial for women’s hormonal balance, helping alleviate symptoms of PMS and menopause. GLA also enhances skin barrier function, keeping the skin smooth, hydrated, and resilient.
