FUNCTIONS
Typical diets in developed countries deliver large amounts of saturated fatty acids and the polyunsaturated omega - 6 linoleic and arachid onic acids. Dietary linoleic acid (18:2 omega - 6) is a precursor to arachidonic acid (20:4) which in turn is a precursor for pro - inflammatory immune mediators, the 2 - series prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes. Although GLA is a precursor of arac hidonic acid, it also competes with arachidonic acid effectively, and may help downregulate the formation of excessive levels of pro - inflammatory 2 - series prostaglandins and other immune mediators.
INDICATIONS
Douglas Laboratories’ Ultra G.L.A. softgel ca psules may be a useful dietary adjunct for those who wish to supplement their diets with gamma - linolenic acid.
