This effect reduces the mechanisms that trigger inflammation.

A healthy body produces the GLA it needs from linoleic acid derived from polyunsaturated vegetable oils such as sunflower, safflower, corn and soybean. However, in certain situations, the body may have difficulty producing GLA: diabetes, eczema, premenstrual syndrome, hypercholesterolemia, excessive alcohol consumption, etc. It can also occur in cases of deficiency of certain vitamins or minerals, notably zinc. Hence the interest in evening primrose oil, which contains ready-to-use GLA. A causal link between reduced GLA levels and the development of these conditions has not been established.
