Gregory Chandler on Gamma Linolenic Acid

Most individuals are deficient in Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA).  This deficiency is because many food oils are hydrogenated.  Hydrogenation is a process that inhibits the conversion of linoleic acid to GLA.  Since GLA is the precursor for many beneficial prostaglandins, having an inadequate supply of GLA production results in inadequate prostaglandin production.  The result is that muscle growth is inhibited.

GLA supplementation can come from borage oil, black current seed oil, or evening primrose oil.
