GLA is essential for smooth and healthy skin and female hormonal balance.* GLA is a precursor to dihomo-gamma.linoleic acid (DGLA), which is a building block for compounds that help to resolve the inflammatory response.* The amount of GLA in each 1-softgel serving may be difficult to obtain from dietary intake alone.
