Properties and stability

1. Use and store according to specifications. It will not decompose and avoid contact with oxides.

2. Found in tobacco leaves.

Storage method

To prevent oxidation, the finished product must be protected from light and air, and sealed and packed with nitrogen. For low temperature storage, it is best to use soft capsules. Storage temperature -18ºC

Synthesis method

γ-Linolenic acid is one of the higher unsaturated fatty acids necessary for the human body. It is converted from linoleic acid in the human body. Found in the seed oil of evening primrose. Nowadays, it is gradually turning to be obtained by microbial fermentation, such as from Mortierlla isabellina, M. vinacea, M. rammanniana and other strains in the genus Mortierella, especially the Mertierella strain, with a higher yield. Regardless of the extraction method or fermentation method, freeze crystallization, urea inclusion method, silver nitrate column chromatography and other processes can be used for separation and purification. GLA is the precursor substance of prostaglandins and other substances in the human body, and is also one of the building blocks of cell biofilms.

Purpose

Can be used as a nutritional supplement. It is an excellent conditioner and nutritional supplement in skin care products. It can improve the hydration and elasticity of the skin, promote blood circulation and cell metabolism. Used in hair growth tinctures to eliminate dandruff, stimulate hair growth and give hair shine.
