Usually, gamma-linolenic acid is synthesized by the body from fatty acids Omega 6 - linoleic acid, but often the body doesn’t have necessary enzymes and therefore it’s not in a position to develop the gamma-linolenic acid, which is involved in a number of metabolic processes in the body. Gamma-linolenic acid that is included in the hemp oil, the body converts directly into biologically active substances - prostaglandins, which are important biological regulators and are involved in metabolism and hormonal regulation. Gamma-linolenic acid has a positive effect on the health of women during menopause and menstruation, and helps relieve the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.
