Gamma Linolenic Acid - omega-6 fatty acid with anti-inflammatory properties
We rank GLA by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.
GLA, or Gamma Linolenic Acid, is a type of omega-6 fatty acid. Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats found in the body and in certain foods.
It is primarily used for its anti-inflammatory properties, which means it helps reduce swelling and irritation in the body.
To create this supplement, oils are extracted from plant sources like borage or evening primrose. These oils are then refined and put into softgel capsules or liquid bottles for sale.
This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because the raw plant oils require specific extraction and refining processes, but there is enough global supply to keep costs from becoming premium.
