saya suka sangat GLA ni.. bila baca sume benefit ni lagi la semangat nak ambil GLA, So what are the conditions that would benefit so much from taking Gla supplement? listed here are evidence from scientific research :)
Diabetes
People with diabetes have a dysfunction in the enzymatic conversion of omega-6 or linoleic acid to GLA, which may play a role in the development of diabetic neuropathy.In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, patients receiving GLA experienced significant improvements in a variety of nerve function parameters.
Eczema
It has been reported that patients with eczema have elevated linoleic acid, but low levels of gamma-linolenic acid, indicating an inability to convert LA to GLA, which inhibits prostaglandin synthesis. A meta-analysis reviewed 9 placebo-controlled trials with GLA supplementation from evening primrose oil. Both patient and doctor's ratings reported improvement over beginning scores. However, some trials with evening primrose oil have not shown improvement.
Immune Dysfunction
Research suggests that the prostaglandins known as PGE1, which are made from DGLA are important regulators of the immune system. It is suggested that viral infectionsband various nutritional deficiencies may inhibit the synthesis of PGE1 from DGLA and thus weaken the immune system with regard to AIDS as well as other chronic diseases. In these cases, supplementation with GLA and/or DGLA would be beneficial.
Painful Breasts
Painful breasts affects 70 percent of women at some time in their lives and records at a breast clinic indicate that about 50 percent of their referrals are due to this condition. Gamma-linolenic acid supplementation has been used as the first line of therapy, providing results equal to drug therapy with danazol and bromocriptine, but with far fewer side effects. In a study with 291 women suffering from painful breasts, 45 percent of those with symptoms related to their menstrual cycle improved with GLA supplementation from evening primrose oil and 27 percent of women with symptoms not associated with their menstrual cycles gained significant improvement.
Periodontal Disease
Borage oil supplementation, a source of omega-6 PUFA, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), may have beneficial effects on periodontal inflammation. A study found that patients treated with borage oil experienced decreased symptoms of periodontitis.
PMS
It has been reported that women with PMS have a defect in their ability to convert linoleic acid into gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).Double-blind, palcebo-controlled trials have demonstrated that providing GLA in the form of evening primrose oil is a highly effective treatment for the depression and irritability, the breast pain and tenderness, and the fluid retention associated with premenstrual syndrome.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
RA patients were given 1.4 gm/day of GLA from borage oil for 24 weeks. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Improvements were reported in physicians' and patients' global assessment of disease activity; joint tenderness, joint swelling, morning stiffness, grip strength, and ability to do daily activities. Tender joint score decreased by 45 percent and swollen joint score decreased by 41 percent
