whole body health.
Overview
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is the precursor to the
biologically active DGLA (dihomo-gamma linolenic acid), which has
numerous health benefits. We’ve added sesame lignans to our formula to
boost borage oil’s beneficial effects and inhibit GLA’s conversion into
inflammatory factors like arachidonic acid, further supporting whole
body health.
Enhancing our GLA supplement with sesame lignans
enables GLA to work much better in the body, for greater health
benefits.

Getting the Right Omega-6
Not all omega-6 fatty acids are of equal value. Arachidonic acid (AA),
for instance, is the precursor of inflammatory factors like
prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), thromboxane A2, and leukotriene B4. In
contrast, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) plays a beneficial role in healthy
prostaglandin (PGE1) formation and inhibiting inflammatory factors, both
of which promote vascular as well as whole-body health.
Product Details
Omega-6 fatty acids like linoleic acid are well-supplied in the diet by
meat and vegetable oils. But some omega-6s can contribute to the
production of inflammatory compounds such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2),
thromboxane A2 and leukotriene B4 (LTB4).
GLA and omega 6 fatty acids
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) from borage oil, on
the other hand, helps inhibit inflammatory compounds and promotes
healthy prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) levels, both of which promote whole body
health.
Borage oil supplements are an excellent way to obtain GLA. GLA is the
precursor to the biologically active dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA),
which may provide optimal health benefits. And our Mega GLA
supplement provides 400 mg of concentrated GLA from borage oil per softgel.
Augmented with sesame lignans
We’ve added 10 mg of sesame lignan extract to each softgel to help
promote healthy levels of beneficial DGLA. Sesame lignans help inhibit
the conversion of GLA into inflammatory arachidonic acid. This, in turn,
inhibits the formation of other inflammatory compounds like PGE2 and
LTB4 in order to support whole body health.
Choose the right GLA supplement
Numerous studies document GLA’s multiple health effects. Enhancing this
supplement with sesame lignans enables GLA to work much better in the
body, increasing the benefit of supplemental GLA.
