Gamma Linolenic Acid GLA | Designs for Health | Softgels 240 mg 60 capsules

What is Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA)? Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) by Designs for Health is the active ingredient found in the oil of Borage Seeds. GLA is an Essential Fatty Acid in the Omega-6 category, but unlike the unhealthy Omega-6 oils such as vegetable oil, Borage Oil has tremendous health promoting effects.

Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) is essential for smooth, healthy skin and female hormonal balance with conditions such as PMS and menopause. GLA has been researched for its ability to relieve PMS, reduce inflammation in arthritis, lower cholesterol, and help reverse diabetic neuropathy. It may also help prevent premature aging and autoimmune diseases. It has been proposed that GLA supplements may stop or slow the growth of cancer cells. GLA and GLA-rich supplements have also been promoted to help people with breast pain, skin allergies, diabetes, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, high blood pressure, premenstrual syndrome, multiple sclerosis, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and neurological problems related to diabetes.

Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) is an essential fatty acid (EFA) in the omega-6 family that is found primarily in plant-based oils. EFAs are essential to human health but cannot be made in the body. For this reason, they must be obtained from food. EFAs are needed for normal brain function, growth and development, bone health, stimulation of skin and hair growth, regulation of metabolism, and maintenance of reproductive processes. In fact, for optimum health, the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids should be between 1:1 and 4:1.
