Omega 6

Evening Primrose Oil & Borage Oil contain the fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid, GLA. Gamma-linolenic acid is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid. GLA is essential and must be supplied to the body through diet or dietary supplements. Fatty acids play a vital role in skin elasticity and ability to retain moisture. GLA is found in evening primrose, borage, black currant seeds, blue-green algae and breast milk, among others. GLA can also be synthesized in the body from linoleic acid, which Black Cumin Oil is rich in.
