healthful to take these?
Thanks.
May I ask why you no longer take GLA?
Life Extension Foundation Magazine and current research referenced was enough to push me over the tipping point to not taking it for now (after taking it for 3 years). And, I had a desire to simplify my supplement regiment since it is extensive. These magazines are online or quickly placed online after they come out. I took a quick look at the online material and found the follow. Since I take the LEF brand fish oil with sesame lignans, I decided I could for now do with out GLA. There was something else in the magazine but I cannot find it at the moment.
Here is the revelant paragraphs:
"GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) is a dietary fat that can increase levels of DGLA and beneficial prostaglandin E1 in the body. When sesame lignans are combined with fish oil, DGLA levels rise dramatically and the anti-inflammatory benefit of the fish oil greatly improves."
"For consumers, this means that taking fish oil with sesame lignans may provide comparable benefits to fish and borage oil (GLA) supplements. Super Omega-3 contains a standardized sesame lignan extract to provide users with these synergistic benefits shown in scientific studies. "
