Skin Aging and Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) - PG-3

Like PG-1, PG-3 (prostaglandins) assist in developing mature skin that is:

smooth
soft
silky and
moist

While PG-1 is formed from linoleic acid, PG-3 requires EPA (an omega-3 unsaturated fat also known as eicosapentaenoic acid).

The best source of EPA is cold-water marine fish, in particular salmon.

DHA is also important for brain development, function and vision.

The body can also convert the omega-3 unsaturated fat alpha-linolenic acid (EPA) into DHA, providing the required enzymes are functioning correctly and at a good speed.

Skin Aging and GLA - Additional Benefits to Supplementation

PG-3 is important for overall well-being, not just good skin texture.

PG-3 makes significant contribution to:

dilating blood vessels to reduce abnormal blood clotting.
reduction in cancer risks, including skin cancer.
reducing inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis, colitis, diabetic neuropathies, Crohn's disease, and also the inflammatory category of skin disorders, including rosacea.
reducing in heart disease.
reducing other cardiovascular diseases.
