Gamma Linolenic Acid

Procerin XT Topical Serum:

Gamma Linolenic Acid is an essential fatty acid (EFA) that cannot be created by the body - it must be consumed via food or supplement. It plays a critical role in the overall health of the body, including such processes as:

Skin and hair growth.
Overall bone health.
Increased metabolism.
Brain function.
Development and maintenance.

Gamma Linolenic Acid, or GLA, has also been found to have a role in reducing the risk (or effects) of a variety of different illnesses.

What Are the Benefits of GLA?

Your body needs to have at least some amount of GLA to reduce natural inflammation and support greater break function. However, there are also several benefits of Gamma Linolenic Acid that make it a popular supplement.

A deficiency in GLA has been linked to increased risk of breast cancer and possibly other cancers. As a result, it has been advised to consume some degree of GLA in order to reduce these risks.
Animal studies have shown that GLA may support lower blood pressure and improved heart health.
Gamma Linolenic Acid, along with other fatty acids, reduces the risk for osteoporosis and other bone disease. Deficiencies in fatty acids may lead to bone breakdown.
GLA plays an important role in your metabolism, especially your body's ability to break down protein.
Gamma Linolenic Acid plays an important role in hair growth, both in stimulating the follicles themselves as well as improving protein breakdown and providing the follicles with increased nutrition. As a result, they have been known to reduce hair loss, and can be found in several effective topical creams.
GLA is also related to both promoting greater skin health as well as new skin growth. It is a popular topical treatment for eczema, but may also be an effective at simply creating greater skin softness.

The majority of Americans do not get enough GLA in their diets. But Gamma Linolenic Acid has a great deal of benefits that make it an effective daily supplement, especially for hair loss and skin health.

How is Gamma Linolenic Acid Traditionally Use?

GLA is not available in teas. It is primarily used in two ways: internally and externally. Internally, GLA is effective for improving brain health and growth. Externally, GLA can be applied via topical creams to promote greater skin and hair health.

How Safe is GLA?

GLA is an EFA. As a result, GLA is quite safe and actually necessary for your body to receive. GLA should be avoided in pregnant women as well as those with seizure disorders. Otherwise GLA has no known aside effects.
