Ingredients explained
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA)
GLA is converted to dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid, which may shift eicosanoid signalling toward compounds associated with a balanced inflammatory response in skin and joints.
Caution: May interact with blood-thinning effects when combined with high omega-3 intake; start with the lowest dose and monitor tolerance.
Linoleic acid (LA)
LA is an essential omega-6 fatty acid that supports skin barrier lipids and is a precursor to GLA in metabolic pathways.
Caution: High omega-6 intake without balancing overall dietary fats may not suit all individuals; consider overall diet quality.
Oleic acid
Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fat that can be incorporated into cell membranes and may influence lipid fluidity and signalling.
Caution: As a fat source it adds calories; take with awareness of total daily fat intake.
How they work together
GLA and linoleic acid contribute to omega-6 pathways, with LA serving as a precursor and GLA providing a more direct route to anti-inflammatory eicosanoid precursors. Oleic acid offers a neutral monounsaturated fat matrix that may support absorption of lipid-soluble compounds.
