LA-Rich Fatty Acid Combination Source of linoleic acid (LA) for the maintenance of good health Provides 1200 mg of LA per daily dose Contains 540 mg of OA and 300 mg of PA per daily dose Cucurbit oil is naturally high in the essential fatty acid LA and contributes to the maintenance of optimal health. Since essential fatty acids and their metabolites are needed to form the skin as a waterproof barrier, their deficiency can lead to scaly skin and moisture loss through the skin and eyes. Dietary supplementation with LA can reverse these symptoms because LA makes up approximately 12% of the fatty acids in the skin and is essential for maintaining the structure and function of the skin. The formation of ceramides, lipids found in the outer epidermal layer responsible for waterproofing, also depends on LA. In addition to its role in skin health, LA is an important energy source and can be metabolized to form other lipid molecules such as triglycerides and phospholipids. As a component of phospholipid membranes, LA serves to maintain membrane fluidity to ensure proper cell function.
