Nutritional Information 

1. Fatty acid 
• Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA, an Omega-6 essential fatty acid): 8%–12%. The human body cannot synthesize it on its own; it serves as a precursor to prostaglandin E1, helping to regulate hormones, reduce inflammation, and support vascular health. It is found in very high concentrations only in certain plant oils. 
• Linoleic acid LA (common Omega-6): 70%–75% 
• Oleic acid (Omega-9): 8%–12% 
• Alpha-linolenic acid (Omega-3): <3% (hardly contributes to brain health) 
2. Complementary Active Substances 
• Natural vitamin E: powerful antioxidant, prevents lipid rancidity, and protects vascular cells. 
• Phytosterols: help lower cholesterol and reduce inflammation 
• Polyphenols and trace elements: soothe inflammation and repair mucous membranes 
3. Basal Metabolic Rate 
• 884 kcal per 100 g, 99.9 g of fat, 0 cholesterol, 0 trans fat
