Super GLA/DHA 180 softgels

Most people fail to obtain the optimal balance of essential fatty acids from their diet. That is why dietary supplements such as fish, primrose and borage oils have become so popular among health conscious people. Fatty acids serve as building blocks of nerve cells and cell membranes. Without adequate levels of the friendly fats, dangerous saturated fats will replace essential fatty acids within cell membranes, reducing membrane fluidity and efficiency, and thereby starting a process of premature aging and disease development. by taking the right proportions of essential fatty acids, we can maximize the production of beneficial prostaglandins while minimizing production of harmful ones (such as prostaglandin E2).

Deficiencies of essential fatty acids have been linked to a wide range of common disorders including:

Cardiovascular disease
Hypertension
Elevated LDL cholesterol
Elevated triglycerides
Insulin resistance (leading to type II diabetes)
Dementia
Memory Loss

To assure optimal fatty acid intake, the Life Extension buyers' Club has designed a combination supplement consisting of GLA and DHA.
