Super GLA/DHA is fatty acid nutrition for heart and joint health. The body needs fatty acids to survive and is able to make all but two of them: linoleic acid, in the omega-6 family and linolenic acid, in the omega-3 family. These two fatty acids must be supplied by the diet and are therefore considered essential fatty acids (EFAs).

Fatty acids are essential for life. Besides storing energy, these fats are part of our makeup; they live in our healthy cells, muscles, nerves, and organs. Conversely, there are bad fats that must be controlled or avoided to maintain good health.

The “good” fats are unsaturated fats that are usually from oils of vegetables, nuts, and some fish. Since they cannot be produced within the body, our diets must be EFA-rich. “Bad” fats are saturated fats, typically from animal fats, dairy products, etc. Without adequate levels of good fats, dangerous saturated fats will replace the essential fatty acids in our cells.

Supplementation with the right proportions of fatty acids can maximize the production of good prostaglandins (E1 and E3), while lowering the amount of unwanted prostaglandin E2 and leukotriene B4. In addition to avoiding saturated fats and high glycemic foods, eating omega-3 foods, and consuming supplements that provide GLA, DHA, and EPA can maintain a healthy amount of desirable prostaglandins and thereby bring balance to the essential fatty acids.

The essential fatty acids in Super GLA/DHA have been concentrated and standardized in order to ensure optimal quality, potency, and biological activity.
