GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) is an omega-6 fatty acid that serves as a precursor to dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), a key building block for compounds involved in regulating the body's inflammatory response.
Borage oil is a rich source of GLA, with each softgel providing 240 mg. This amount may be difficult to obtain through diet alone, making supplementation a convenient option.
GLA supports the maintenance of smooth and healthy skin by contributing to the structural integrity of cell membranes and influencing skin hydration.
GLA plays a role in supporting female hormonal balance, potentially alleviating symptoms associated with hormonal fluctuations.
Other Ingredients: Bovine gelatin, purified water, glycerine, annatto (color).
Take 1 softgel per day with a meal or as directed by your health-care practitioner.
