What Is Mega GLA Sesame Lignans?
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.
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.5
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.
