Typical diets in developed countries deliver large amounts of saturated fatty acids and the polyunsaturated omega-6 linoleic and arachidonic acids. Dietary linoleic acid (18:2 omega-6) is a precursor to arachidonic acid (20:4) which in turn is a precursor for potentially problematic immune mediators, the 2-series prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes.
Although GLA is a precursor of arachidonic acid, it also competes with arachidonic acid effectively, and may help downregulate the formation of excessive levels of 2-series prostaglandins and other immune mediators.
Professional-grade products adhere to the strictest standards for purity and potency, and use the highest-grade ingredients available.
