Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) is a well-known constituent of evening primrose, borage and blackcurrant seed oils. GLA is involved in the formation of healthy cell membranes and is converted in the body to prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), which is an essential biochemical process. Mega GLA Complex is emulsified with lecithin to enhance absorption and bioavailability.
