Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) is an omega-6 fatty acid (found in Evening Primrose Oil) which is often recommended for use with omega-3s from fish. Ideally, your body manufacures GLA from LA, or linoleic acid, which is found in nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils. Given that the conversion of LA to GLA is often blocked by poor diet, disease, smoking, alcohol consumption, and stress, many people choose to take it in supplement form.
