Description and Uses

Linolenic acid (LA), also known as Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), is an omega-3 essential fatty acid with a wide range of biological activities such as cardiovascular protection, anticancer, neuroprotection, anti-osteoporosis, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant.LA is mainly sourced from plants, such as nuts and seeds, and is used for the endogenous synthesis of LC omega-6 fatty acids.
