Biocare Mega GLA 90 capsules
GLA complex containing the essential fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid from turmeric.
Why is GLA used?
This is because it is a fatty acid that the body cannot produce on its own and therefore needs to be supplied from outside via diet or supplements. It is found in small amounts in certain foods, such as flaxseeds and algae.
One of the most important functions of GLA in both humans and animals is to keep skin (and fur) healthy. GLA also plays an important role in the production of hormones.
Who can benefit from GLA supplementation? We at Aroniabutiken have mainly sold GLA to customers who have used it successfully for PMS, menopausal symptoms and skin problems (dryness, eczema) and dry mucous membranes. We would like to recommend it as a “secret” trick for softer and more beautiful skin.
We give it the “Aroniabutikens award for new and special product”, because GLA is quite unknown and can be of great benefit to many, especially for dry skin, eczema, inflammation and hormonal disorders, or as a beauty supplement.

In alternative health, GLA is mainly used for:
– Skin health, such as atopic eczema and skin inflammation. Can help to increase the skin’s elasticity and ability to retain moisture.
– hormonal problems and PMS. It can help reduce hot flushes and menopausal symptoms. Preferably together with vitamin E.
– Reduce pain associated with inflammation and stiffness caused by rheumatoid arthritis
– Acne, scleroderma, ulcerative colitis, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), benign prostatic hyperplasia, asthma and prostate problems.
GLA is most commonly produced from either Turmeric or Giant Hogweed. Biocare Mega GLA Complex contains emulsified omega-6 fatty acids from turmeric oil. Each capsule provides approximately 4 times as much GLA (180 mg) as a 500 mg capsule of evening primrose oil. Because the content is so high, one capsule a day is enough. You can “boost” with two capsules a day for the first month if you wish.
Amount per capsule:
Vitamin E 11 IU 10mg α-TE† 83 mg
Turmeric oil 1000 mg, provides GLA 190mg
†α-TE= Alpha-tocopherol equivalent
Ingredients: Turmeric oil (Boraginis oleum), capsule (modified corn starch, glycerol, gelling agent [carrageenan]), vitamin E (DL-alpha-tocopheryl acetate).
