Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is an omega-6 fatty acid. Omega-6 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids: They are necessary for human health but the body can't make them -- you have to get them through food or supplements. Along with omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids play a crucial role in brain function as well as normal growth and development. Also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), they help stimulate skin and hair growth, maintain bone health, regulate metabolism and maintain the reproductive system.*
Suggested Use:
Take 1 softgel 3 times daily with meals.
