    omega-6 fatty acid found in certain plant oils

    Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) is an omega-6 fatty acid found in various plant oils, such as evening primrose oil and borage oil. It plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin and hair by reducing inflammation and supporting cell structure. GLA is often used in supplements to manage conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and hair loss due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
