What is Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA)?

Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) is an omega-6 fatty acid found in certain plant oils. In the body, it can be converted into compounds involved in regulating inflammation.

What are the main benefits of GLA?

GLA is commonly used to support joint comfort in inflammatory conditions, improve symptoms of atopic dermatitis (eczema), and support nerve function in diabetic neuropathy. Effects can vary by person and product.

What foods or oils contain GLA?

GLA is found in higher amounts in evening primrose oil, borage oil, and black currant seed oil. Typical diets contain little GLA compared with these concentrated sources.

What is a typical GLA dosage?

A common supplemental range is 240–480 mg of GLA per day. The amount of oil needed depends on the product’s labeled GLA content.

Who should be cautious with GLA supplements?

People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have bleeding disorders, or take anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications should consult a clinician before use. Those with chronic conditions should also check for interactions and appropriate dosing.
