General Information
GLA Syrup is a preparation which will deliver, per day, 30 mg of Gamma-linolenic Acid (GLA), an Essential Fatty Acid, in a manner acceptable for children up to seven years of age. GLA has been found to be helpful with the following: babies who are no longer being breast- fed, hyperactive / attention deficit children, those with multiple-sclerosis and skin disorders. Research has shown that a large number of factors block the conversion of dietary linoleic acid to GLA. GLA is converted in the body to DGLA (Dihomogammalinolenic Acid). The DGLA is then converted to a number of compounds the most important of which is the hormone like substance called prostaglandin 1 (PG)E1. Prostaglandins regulate or control every living cell in the body and are responsible for many body functions. The Hyperactive Children's Support Group (HCSG) in England has accumulated a lot of evidence that many Attention Deficit Hyperactive children suffer from a GLA deficiency and that correcting this deficiency has helped to reduce, and in many cases, eliminate their symptoms. GLA Syrup contains a number of the important co-factor nutrients, which work better when combined than when taken separately. These include Vitamins A and C, and the mineral Zinc, which are all powerful anti -oxidants and the important B group vitamins which help to stimulate the functioning of the brain, reduce stress and improve the absorption of nutrients. All of the added co-factor nutrients are important for the GLA to be converted to prostaglandin 1 [(PG) E1]. The inclusion of zinc is believed to increase the effectiveness of GLA. Zinc is also known to aid with concentration.
